What is Service Learning?
Service learning at OSU-OKC is an educational opportunity that allows the students to apply classroom learning within the community in which they go to school, work and/or live. Students conduct a service learning project with the approval and guidance of their class instructor. The service learning project may or may not be required as part of the student’s grade, depending upon the instructor’s discretion. The project must be identified early in the semester to allow enough time to meet the instructor’s expectations. Service Learning Applications must be submitted to the instructor no later than the fourth week of a 16-week class.
To assist with service learning involvement, Services Learning Fairs are held each Fall and Spring semester in the Student Center. Volunteer agencies attend this event to provide information the opportunities available and to assist students with signing up.
Completion of Service Learning projects will be documented on the OSU-OKC Student Activity Transcript and noted on the commencement program at the time of graduation.

What is Community Service?
In addition to class-related service learning projects, there are many opportunities to participate in community service, which is another way to volunteer within our communities. Community engagement is strictly a volunteer activity and is not included in the student’s grade. However, student clubs get “credit” for their volunteer activities and all OSU-OKC students (individual and group), staff and faculty are encouraged to report their community outreach and involvement. Community service simply provides individuals an opportunity to serve, to give back, and to help make the world a better place. We can make a difference, one person at a time.
Service Saturdays - Join other OSU-OKC students and staff in service projects one Saturday a month, from 9am – noon. Projects vary but the results are the same – you will make a difference!
SHINE – A Community Service Program
The Oklahoma County Commissioners are offering a Commissioner’s Cord and certificate for students who complete 100 hours of community service during their college career. The service must be for a minimum of three separate organizations, with 30 hours toward beautification efforts in the community.
The volunteer hours can be accrued through service learning and/or other community service activities. The service must be verified by completing the Community Service Record Form.
