Important Dates

Signing up on time for service learning is extremely important. The sign-up window to choose a Service Learning site is September 9th-September 16th. Signing up on time allows students and community agencies the proper time to connect, establish expectations, and build a relationship. Therefore, after September 16th, late sign-ups will be considered but not ​guaranteed and will have to be done in person in the Service Learning Office. Students will be placed at an appropriate site. After October 2nd, the student will be responsible for securing their own placement or will need to drop the class.
