All students, with the exception of transfer students, need to complete CSL in order to receive an associate degree. If you are a transfer student who has transferred college level credit from another college or university, you are exempt. SL1001 is a ten-hour course that is taught in conjunction with sophomore Communications Skills classes to introduce students to the concepts of civic responsibility and community leadership. Agencies are linked to specific courses based on the course curriculum and the work done by the student. Students perform 10-20 hours of service over the course of the academic term.
Professors reinforce service through classroom assignments and discussions.
SL2001 is offered through a variety of courses, providing students many opportunities to fulfill their graduation requirement. Service to the community is important and encouraged but does not fulfill the graduation requirement, which must include an academic component. If you are eligible for work study and interested in a community service work study position, complete and return Form 4 by July 1, 2001. Students chosen for the Community Service Work Study Program will be notified of their appointment at Registration or by coming in to the Student Employment Office upon returning to school in September. Most students will be able to begin working during the first or second week of the new academic year.
