GS 180 - Civic Engagement

Credits: 1
Maximum Credits: 2
This course recognizes student volunteer service work for the community. Students earn the credit by completing a specific project, which may be initiated as part of a particular course, through a recognized University service organization, or independently. If students undertake the project through a service organization or independently, a professor must certify the project as appropriate, supervise its completion, and assign the grade. Students must file a proposal with the supervising professor and register for the credit. The proposal must present a detailed overview of the work of the project, which must entail a substantial time commitment (a minimum of 45 hours of work is required for each credit), and identify a written reflection component specifically related to the project. Students may not earn additional GS credit for work already required by the service-learning component of a course. Internship students may earn GS credit through an additional project, with the consent of the instructor. S/U grade. This course may be repeated for up to 3 total credits.
