Process for Enrolling in CSL Courses

Here’s what to do if you want to take a course that offers community service learning (CSL):


  1. Identify and select an officially-designated CSL course from our online CSL Courses list.
  2. Enroll in the course you want to take.
  3. Log into the Community Connections Database (CCDB), located on right side column of our Home (About Us) Page, and create your student profile. Be sure to read the guidelines for student conduct and check the boxes to agree to follow them.
  4. Select the placement site where you want to work from sites your instructor has chosen, or from the CCDB.
  5. Make contact with the site supervisor and arrange for an appointment. Once you have been selected and have gone through an orientation at your site,
  6. Perform required service and keep track of your hours with your site supervisor (minimum is 30 hours per semester or as stipulated by course instructor).
  7. Provide information to course instructor on the number of hours you perform at a community site. The CSL hours will be reflected in your official transcript.
