Students – Not currently registered in a CSL course
If you are not registered in a Community Service Learning (CSL) course, but would like to participate in the CSL Program, you can:
- Speak to your professor about the CSL Program (if he or she is not familiar with it);
- Present an outline of your project to your professor before the beginning of the semester or soon after;
- Demonstrate to him or her how your project would enhance your comprehension of the course concepts through their real-life application;
- Put your professor in contact with the ELS office to register your placement and to work out the details of integrating your CSL project into the course.
Many professors are already familiar with the CSL Program, although they may not have planned a CSL component for their course(s) in the upcoming semester. You may also consult a list of professors already affiliated with the Experiential Learning Service.
