Service Opportunities That Do Not Count Towards the HC Service Learning Requirement
The following events and programs DO NOT count for service hours. You will find clarifications for each of the commonly logged types of service that have not counted for HC Serves hours. Please review this page before logging any service hours:
- Student Organizations
Service through student organizations does count when the service is directed at the larger community. For example, fundraisers for charity, sorority/fraternity service projects, and other community service work does count. However, volunteering that directly services the student organization such as recruitment tabling, organizing social events, or volunteering at an event not related to service does not count as service. Rutgers Move-In Volunteering Policy
Effective September 20, 2024, the Honors College will allow up to 2 hours logged for Move-In volunteering. If you have volunteered in the past and your submissions were rejected, you may re-submit them to the HC Serves Form. We may not approve more than 2 hours for a move-in opportunity per academic year.
If you have any questions as to why something does not count for service hours that may fall into either of these categories, please contact HCServes@echo.rutgers.edu.
