Weekly Social Justice Praxis Timeline

DEADLINE PROJECT REQUIREMENT
by the end of the first week of the semester...
Register with the Center for Service and Social Action. The instructor eventually will be notified by the CSSA that you have elected this project, but it will expedite matters if you drop me a note to that effect. Begin creating your project webpage on the Blackboard.
during the second week of the semester...
Attend the mandatory one-hour service-learning orientation. See the CSSA for times. You should be able to register and choose your placement during this session. If you participated in a service-learning placement in the Fall semester, and if you attended the required orientation session at that time, you do not need to attend this session. You simply can register for your placement.

If you will be arranging your own service-learning placement, you still are required to attend one of these orientation sessions unless you already did so in the fall. In addition, you must complete the special form for such projects and receive approval from both the Instructor and the Director of the CSSA.

Also note that you may need to complete VIRTUS Training if you will have contact with children in schools, parishes, and programs of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland.
