Service Learning

Some courses include service learning as a required or optional component. On this page you will find information on how to find a service-learning opportunity and how to complete the CICE placement process. 

As part of your service-learning course, you must:

• Read your syllabus (important) and understand all instructions concerning service-learning.
• Find a service-learning site:
  a. Consult your instructor to determine if there is a pre-approved list of service-learning sites from which you are to choose. You must choose a site from this list if it is provided.
  b. If there is no pre-approved list, it is your responsibility to find a community partner site where you will complete your hours, AND it is your responsibility to register following the CICE Service Learning Student Instructions.
• Follow the Service Learning Instructions .
• It is your responsibility to track your hours and have them confirmed by your service-learning supervisor. See the sample timesheet , or use one provided by your instructor.

Avoiding Scams: General Tips for Students

Although the Center for Internships & Community Engagement follows risk management-approved policies for reviewing academic internships and service-learning, we cannot guarantee that all placement situations are accurately represented in what the entity has posted. When seeking a placement site (in Titan Connection or other website), it is very important for you to educate yourself about potential scams. Here are some good tips that a position is probably fraudulent:

• The promise of a large salary for very little work -- especially those that state thousands of dollars of income per month with little or no experience required.
• Positions that ask you to give credit card or bank account numbers, or copies of personal documents.
• Positions that ask you to send payment by wire service or courier.
• Positions in which you are offered a large payment or reward in exchange for allowing the use of your bank account -- often for depositing checks or transferring money.

If you suspect a position is fraudulent, please contact the CICE office. If you believe you are the victim of fraud resulting from a job listing, please contact the local police as well.
