Can service activities completed in high school, last semester or last year fulfill the service-learning requirement?
Projects completed during high school cannot apply toward the requirement. Service-learning activities may be completed at any time between admission and graduation from UW-Eau Claire, although students with the support of the academic adviser may petition the Deans Office of the School/College in which they are enrolled to use pre-enrollment experiences in partial fulfillment of the requirement. A project conducted under the non-credit option must be purposeful and planned cooperatively among the student, the faculty/academic staff mentor and project supervisor within the context of service-learning before the student begins the project. Likewise, the students Service-Learning Agreement must be approved by the faculty/academic staff mentor and project supervisor, and submitted to the Center for Service-Learning before the project begins.
