Student Community Placements & Required Forms
ULink Retirement and GivePulse Transition
SF State ULink will no longer be available after November 30, 2026, as ICCE prepares to transition student community placements to GivePulse. GivePulse is anticipated to launch by mid-Spring 2027. ICCE will announce the confirmed launch date and provide instructions and training resources when available.
What students need to do
By Friday, November 20:
- Submit any outstanding requests for required placement forms through ULink.
- Complete any pending placement steps available in ULink.
By Monday, November 30:
- Download or save any placement information or hour records you may need.
- Confirm your placement and hour-tracking expectations with your course instructor.
Temporary process beginning December 1
Until GivePulse launches, students who have confirmed an academic internship, service-learning, or other course-based community placement should use ICCE’s temporary form to request the appropriate consent documents.
Based on the information submitted, ICCE will send the applicable Student Informed Consent packet and, when necessary, the Acknowledgment of No Learning Placement Site Agreement packet through Adobe Acrobat Sign.
During this transition:
- Consult your instructor or academic department about finding and approving a placement.
- Track your hours using the method required by your instructor.
- Do not submit completed hour logs to ICCE unless specifically requested.
Updates about GivePulse will be posted on this page. Questions may be directed to icce-communityplacement@sfsu.edu.
