FAQ

You will see a confirmation message after submitting the service learning registration form. You'll also receive an email (to the email address you provided on the registration form) regarding project details and any other pertinent information. 

Once registration opens, projects do frequently fill fast.  If a project is no longer listed in the registration menu and registration is open, it means that this particular project is full.  A notice is also provided on the website when individual projects are closed.  

All instructors who offer service learning for their courses also offer alternatives.  Speak with your instructor directly about additional projects you can complete.

All projects are subject to change with weather conditions.  If weather conditions are unfavorable for a service learning project, you will be sent a cancellation notice via email by 7:00 AM of the project day. A notice will also be posted on the Service Learning Current Projects and Events page.  With a weather cancellation, the project is automatically shifted to the scheduled rain date.  Please do not call to ask about cancellations.  All information can be found on the Center's web site and via email.  If you do not see a cancellation notice on the web site or receive a cancellation email, the project will be held as scheduled.  

Each project site page has an address and/or Google map for the site. From the map, you can click "Directions" and input your starting address to find directions to the project work site. We also provide additional information on the project site page and in the informational email sent out before the project.

Service learning project work days are an extension of the classroom.  Only those registered for a service learning project may attend the projects. Please, no guests, including children.

The G199 course consists of students participating in five environmental service learning projects with the Center for Earth and Environmental Science.  The project schedule and registration information can be found on our website.  Please review the service leaning schedule, select five projects and register for them online.  G199 students should contact the Assistant Director of CEES, Victoria Schmalhofer, atvrschmal@iu.edu to confirm G199 enrollment and ask any questions they may have regarding registration and project activities/availability.  After completing the five service learning projects, G199 students complete a 1500-2500 word paper outlining the overarching themes of the service learning projects and the projects’ impacts on the environment and community.  All papers will be submitted via the G199 Canvas site after the five service learning projects are completed for a course grade.

If you have a disability and need accommodations, please contact us at cees@iu.edu.  Please provide us with at least a two week notice of the request before the scheduled service learning project. When possible, contact CEES before registering for a project: we may be able to provide information that will guide your project selection.
