The Office of Leadership and Service-Learning (OLSL) at the
University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) facilitates a process whereby
courses are designated as service-learning. Faculty must complete a form to
demonstrate that the standards for service-learning are met. The courses that
are approved through this process are then marked by the university registrar
as SVL, which students can then search for when seeking out service-learning
classes, just as they would if they were looking for other course markers.
More on this can be found online at:
You will also find a list of reasons why faculty should
designate their courses as service-learning, as it requires an extra step to
apply for the designation (and they often wonder and ask, "why, should I seek
designation?").
Coordinating this with the university registrar and
curriculum committees has been wonderful for helping to institutionalize and
integrate this work at UNCG.
I hope this helps!
