Community Engagement Scholars Program:
Retroactive Recognition
Although students typically must be enrolled in the Community
Engagement Scholars Program in order to begin having their community
involvement hours recognized, there are a few exceptions to this
general rule. In order for these exceptions to be relevant, the
following conditions must first be met:
- The scholar must
have been enrolled at the University during the time period in which
the community engagement hours were completed.*
- The
scholar must be able to provide proper documentation of their community
engagement hours (e.g. an hourly log or similar format).
- The
scholar must turn in documentation of retroactive hours no later than
two months after the date of his/her enrollment in the program.
If the above conditions are met, the Community Engagement
Scholar may pursue the following forms of retroactive recognition for
community engagement hours completed prior to enrollment in the
Scholars Program: - The 50 Hour Rule
allows students to apply up to 50 hours completed prior to enrollment
in the Scholars Program toward their 400 community engagement hour
requirement.
- Designated service-learning course credit earned prior to enrollment in the program can be applied toward the 8 credits service-learning course work
requirement.
- Community Engagement Hours completed for a prior service-learning course can be applied toward the program as restricted hours, in addition to the "50 hour rule."
