Important Dates

Signing up on time for service learning is extremely important. The sign-up window to choose a Service Learning Site is January 25th - February 1st. Signing up on time allows students and community agencies the proper time to connect, establish expectations, and build a relationship. Therefore, after February 1st late sign-ups will be considered but not ​guaranteed until February 10th and will have to be done by making an appointment with the Assistant Director, Eddie Godina. Students will be placed in an appropriate site. After February 10th, the student will be responsible for securing their own placement or will need to drop the class.
