About

Orientation for Fall 2022 is Wednesday, September 14th, from 5:30pm to 7:30pm OR Thursday, September 15th from 5:30pm to 7:30pm (choose one date). Orientation will be in-person at Bender Library 150.

Why CSLP?

CSLP provides an opportunity for students to do service while earning an add-on credit towards graduation. It gives students the chance to serve the communities and causes they learn about in class, taking the learning process beyond the classroom. 

CSLP is right for you if...

  • You are a full-time undergraduate student currently enrolled in 12-16 credits
  • You want to increase your understanding of issues facing our community and how community organizations are responding to these issues
  • You want to gain a deeper understanding of your coursework through real-world connections with the local community
For more information, visit our website.

Please refer to our FAQs page before beginning your application.

  1. Identify that class to which you want to connect the pass/fail add-on credit. 
  2. Review the course syllabus to identify main themes addressed in the course.
  3. Identify at least 3 local community partners whose work addresses an issue area that connects with the themes discussed in your course. (Check out our Non-Profit Directories) or check out our Google Drive of Partner Opportunities).
  4. Complete the CSLP Application here by Monday, September 12 by 3pm.
  5. In the first week of class, notify your professor you are applying for a CSLP add-on credit to their course. 

What Happens Next?

Applications will be reviewed by the CBL Coordinator and participants will be invited to the Orientation. After Orientation, the Coordinator confirms student participation with the faculty and forward the student's information to the Registrar's Office for the add-on credit. Any students who withdraw thereafter will receive a "W" on their transcript. (More more information, see AU's Academic Calendar). Students unable to complete the program should notify CBLR@american.edu ASAP. 

Note: Students are not required to have a partner confirmed to apply to CSLP. After Orientation, participants will have a week to confirm their partner. Please refer to our Guide on Connecting with a Community Partner
