The number of credits you will earn in Special Topics in Service Learning is based on the hours volunteered. Credit will be granted as follows: 7.5 hours = 0.5 credits. You can earn a maximum of 2.5 credit hours, although more volunteer hours are always appreciated! As a reminder, credits earned will not count towards graduation requirements or financial aid and are non-transferable.
