How can I find out where to do community service?
The Center for Social Concerns (CSC) can provide a complete description of service organizations. For more information, call 631-5293 or visit their website at centerforsocialconcerns.nd.edu. You may also contact your Rector or Social Concerns Commissioner for possible hall service opportunities.

How do I verify that I completed my service requirement?
After you have completed your required service, you must submit a verification letter to the ORLH. This letter must be received BEFORE your sanction deadline. Simply completing the service before the deadline is insufficient -- we also need a verification letter. Letters can be faxed to the office at (574) 631-3954.

What needs to be included in a verification letter?
A verification letter must include the following: [also, click for more details]

• A description of the type of service you completed.
  
• The exact number of hours and dates that you worked (service needs to be completed after the date of the disciplinary incident).
  
• The letter should be written on the service organization's letterhead - including a contact phone number.
  
• The letter must be signed by a NON-STUDENT work supervisor. Letters signed by students will not be accepted. If you complete your service through a student organization (i.e. Habitat for Humanity) you must have the Faculty/Staff advisor write your verification letter.

Can I request a deadline extension?
It is your responsibility to complete service hours. You will not receive a reminder after the decision letter is sent. To request an extension, you must contact the Office of Residence Life and Housing and speak directly with the person who sent your decision letter. Extensions may be granted when you have completed a majority of your service work and you only have a few hours left to complete. You must request an extension at least one week prior to your original service deadline. Please do not call on or after your deadline date and expect an extension.

If you misplaced your "Service as a Sanction" reference sheet which was enclosed in your letter, you can download another copy.

If you have more questions about community service in relation to your requirements, please contact the person with whom you met.
