Volunteerism is outside of the classroom, unpaid community involvement that provides community enrichment. Generally, students receive no college credit for these activities although exemplary efforts may be recognized through scholarship, awards, recognition, and other rewards.

Examples include:

Participation at a nonprofit agency
Work in civic activities or political campaigns
Other unpaid service activities

*Students can transfer in 35 hours of volunteer/community service credit completed in connection with another higher education institution (post-secondary) with documentation from a previous supervisor.
