Service Learning and Civic Engagement Course Components

Science & Arts’ Service-Learning courses allow the transcription of non-credit service-oriented undergraduate research, internships, practica, five-week independent studies, tutorials, capstone and senior projects, fieldwork, colloquia projects, and other community-based experiential learning activities.

These course numbers are faculty-designed course components:

SLCE-2710 – S-L course component (0 credit; Pass/No Pass; lower division) – [course name]

SLCE-4710 – S-L course component (0 credit; Pass/No Pass; upper division) – [course name]

Similar to the concurrent enrollment procedure for some required labs, the science colloquium, or required music program recital attendance, SLCE course components are listed as non-credit with pass/fail grading. If the SLCE component of a class is optional, students not participating in the project would not be required to enroll in the SLCE section of course. SLCE participation does not increase tuition costs or impact grade point averages. Instead, they exist to record and encourage Service-Learning opportunities for both faculty and students.
