2. Community Service Requirement
A total of 45 clock hours (non-credit) are required for all baccalaureate degrees. Associate degrees require 22 clock hours (non-credit) of Community Service. Students may satisfy this graduation requirement by: (1) selecting volunteer opportunities posted by Campus Ministry, or (2) taking courses designated in the University schedule as service-learning courses, or (3) a combination of volunteer opportunities and service-learning courses. Students are encouraged to discuss with their advisors, early in their university experience, the options for fulfilling the community service requirement and the method of documenting their service.
Students should complete their Community Service hours by the end of the junior year. Community Service hours must be completed and documented by the first week of the final semester. The Ettling Center for Civic Leadership and Sustainability supports students to complete their service requirement and to help students document their service.
