Spelling clarification: is it extracurriculars or extraciriculars?

I've seen both spellings being used, and I want to make sure I'm using the correct term in my college applications. Can someone please clarify the correct spelling for me? Thanks!

It's 'extracurriculars.' You're right to double-check, as it's important to use the correct spelling in your college applications. So the correct term is 'extracurriculars' with double 'r' and an 'u' before the first 'r.' Good luck with your applications!
