A brief description of the practice of including community service on transcripts, if applicable:
The Active Learning Experience (ALE) is an opportunity for students to explore interconnections among various venues for learning—courses, labor, service, research, internships, etc. All ALEs must include: a) learning through sustained, continual engagement in, reflection on, and assessment of experiences; b) the use of knowledge, imagination, and judgment to address questions in novel contexts; and c) the exploration of connections between theory and practice, and between learning in courses and from experiences outside the classroom. When the experience has a strong Service-Learning component, it will be designated as ALE-SL. Students must complete one approved ALE or ALE-SL. ALE and ALE-SL courses will be identified as such on student transcripts.
