Relationship to the curriculum

Intra-curricular activities are embedded within the normal part of a students course of study and are usually assessed.
Co-curricular activities are outside of the normal curriculum and unlikely to be assessed. Although they are commonly voluntary, topics are usually linked to the subject area of a students course of study. Extracurricular activities fall outside of the normal curriculum and are not necessarily linked to a students course of study. They are usually non-assessed and of a voluntary nature.
