Step 1: Select the program, such as Brookhaven Counts or Brookhaven Reads, a special interest group or campaign, such as Democracy in Action, or agency where you would like to complete your service hours.
Step 2: Contact the site and speak with the site director or person in charge of volunteers to find out what you need to do to begin your service hours, i.e., site application, background check, orientation, and when you can begin.
Step 3: Log on to eCampus Service-Learning Page at http://ecampus.dcccd.edu and fill out the service-learning application and disclaimer form. NOTE: Students who do not complete this step will not receive service-learning credit. NO EXCEPTIONS. (Complete step-by-step directions on how to enroll in service-learning via eCampus).
Step 4: Download a time sheet on the eCampus site and take it with you each time you perform service hours. Only your site director or the person he/she designates may sign your time sheet. If an unauthorized person signs your time sheet, you will not receive any credit for that day(s). NO EXCEPTIONS.
NOTE: Time sheets for Brookhaven Counts and Brookhaven Reads participants are kept at the tutoring site, so this step does not apply to you. If you are unable to download a time sheet, you may pick up one in the SPAR Office, Room S201.
Step 5: Complete the service hours required by your instructor. Keep a log of your service-learning experience to assist you in completing reflection assignments given by your instructor and/or Reflection Sessions conducted by the SPAR Office.
Step 6: If required by your instructor, participate in a Reflection Session held by SPAR and complete the student survey. For a list of Reflection Session dates, please visit the eCampus Service-Learning Page or pick up a list of dates from the SPAR Office. Students who do not complete this step will not receive service-learning credit. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Step 7: Return your completed time sheet to your service-learning coordinator by the due date to receive credit. Please check the online service-learning calendar on eCampus for the official due date.
