If you started your studies before September 2021 this will contain both academic and extra-curricular achievements.  If you started your studies after September 2021 it will contain details of your academic achievements; your extra-curricular activities and experiences should be recorded in your mySkills portfolio. 

You can view your HEAR electronically via My Services in MUSE. It can be a useful tool to help you review your progress and plan what you want to achieve during your time here, for example, with your personal tutor or a Careers Advisor.
