Institutions may exclude non-credit, continuing education, and/or part-time students from this credit.


Applicability

Scoring

Institutions earn the maximum of 6 points available for this credit by engaging their entire student body in community service.  Incremental points are available based on the percentage of students that contribute community service. For example, an institution where 50 percent of students contributed some community service would earn 3 points (half of the points available for this credit).

Sampling and Data Standards

Institutions may use a representative sample or survey to determine student participation in community service. Institutions may also choose to exclude part-time, continuing education and/or non-credit students, as long as they are excluded from both the count of students engaged in community service and the count of total students.
