• Who needs to attend a training session?
  
  In order for SERVE hours to be credited towards graduation requirements, students need to attend a session of SERVE training before beginning their service learning experience in the classroom. Students only need to attend a training session once. PLEASE NOTE: Students who are enrolled in EDEL 200/380 receive training as part of the course, and are not required to attend a separate training.
  
  
• What do I need to bring to the training session?
  
  Please bring 2 copies of a current (within the past 12 months) TB test certificate, a notebook to be used as a journal, and a pen to the training session. You may contact the CSULB Student Health Center for information about TB testing. To register for the training, see Information for Students/ SERVE On-Line Registration: follow Steps 1-3.

• How do I get placed at a school if I’ve already attended a training session?
  
  All NEW students including students in EDEL 200/380 need to attend a placement session. Placement sessions are listed separately from training sessions. CONTINUING students (who have completed at least one rotation of SERVE) request placement on-line: see Information for Students/ SERVE Placement Requests.
  

• What happens after I attend the necessary training and/or placement sessions?
  
  The SERVE office processes all completed documents (all requests are submitted through a clearance process before approval can be granted to begin working in the classroom). A list of confirmed placements will be posted on the bulletin board outside the SERVE office, and will be updated on a daily basis. You may check this list for your name and placement site and then begin your service-learning assignment.
  
  
• Do I need to have any papers filled out by the schools to confirm my placement?

YES! All students fill out a Field Placement Confirmation Form, available on the bulletin board outside the SERVE office. This form is to be signed by the classroom teacher and site coordinator, and turned in the week you start your service hours. Distribution: white copy to your CSULB instructor, yellow to SERVE Office, pink for your records. (Students in an Independent Rotation only turn in the yellow copy to the SERVE office.)

• Do I need to turn in any paperwork after I finish my hours?

  YES! All students are asked to turn in the Hours Log and Final Evaluation.   The Student Evaluation and Post Test are filled out on-line when you check out. Forms that are in triplicate are distributed as follows: white copy to university instructor, yellow to SERVE, and pink is for your records. If you are in an Independent Rotation you may also keep the white copies for your files. PLEASE NOTE: Keep copies of all documents. Students in courses requiring service-learning, please deliver above documents to the SERVE office (anything turned in to the instructors is forwarded to the Department Office, which is separate from SERVE).

WE WISH YOU A WONDERFUL SERVICE-LEARNING EXPERIENCE!
