Service Hours

Service Hours Requirements

• Service must be unpaid. This includes being paid by the organization itself for labor or completing service while being paid for a student-worker position or other employment. 
• Service cannot be directly related to responsibilities of being in the organization  (Ex: recruitment for new members, working a table at an organization fair, hosting a formal, holding a raffle). These are requirements of being in the organization itself and do not count as community service.
• A contact must be listed in order for us to confirm the hours. If the hours cannot be confirmed, they will be denied. A contact internal to the organization will not be accepted as a confirmation.
• Service cannot be internal to the organization (EX: cleaning a member's house, attending a formal, setting up internal events, attending meetings, tabling).
• Students should submit the Engage service hours request within 72 hours.
• Donating items, money, or profit shares will not count as service hours.
• A canned food drive or collecting, storing, and packing food/care items donations can be counted based on a detailed service hour log. This will be up to the discretion of the Assistant Director. 
• Service must support a nonprofit organization, cause, or institution. 
• Internships for course credit do not count as service.
