Community Service DUE TODAY

Note: This reminder is being sent to everyone with the JH Scholarship. This is a reminder only, not an indication of missing hours or rejection of hours you have submitted. See the instructions below for viewing the current final approval status of hours you submitted.

REMINDER: Submit your hours by 11:59 p.m. TODAY

• To receive credit for the Spring 2024 requirement, all community service hours must be submitted to the Get Involved website (click here for instructions) no later than 11:59 p.m. TODAY (Monday, April 15). There are no exceptions to submitting hours on Get Involved and no other way they will be credited to you.
• Please plan to submit your hours early to avoid the last-minute rush and give yourself plenty of time to answer all the questions on the form in detail. Forms without adequate detail may not be approved.
• Please note that both the SOAR and Kimmel Hub offices both close at 4:30 p.m. TODAY and will not be available to assist you after this time.

How to View the Current Status of Hours You Submitted:

1. Sign in to the Get Involved at SIUE website (https://getinvolved.siue.edu/).

2. Click on your photo or the gray circle with your initials at the top right of the page.

3. Select “Experiences” (NOT “Service Hours”) from the drop-down menu.

4. Each submission will show its status (approved, pending, or denied):

Q: What happens if I have hours that are still pending?

A: Many students will have hours that are submitted before/on the deadline, but those hours may not be reviewed by the Kimmel Hub until after the deadline. This is normal due to the high volume of submissions the week before and on the day of the deadline. All hours submitted by 11:59 p.m. TODAY (April 15) will be reviewed and approved/denied by Kimmel Hub staff before the SOAR Office sends notifications to Financial Aid.

IMPORTANT: Community service completed April 16 - May 3 will not be applied to JH Scholarship requirements.

The only exception to this rule is the Helping Hands Program mentioned in the JHS News Alert email sent on Thursday, April 11. Hours earned through Helping Hands April 15 - 26 should be submitted via Get Involved no earlier than May 4 and will be applied to the Fall 2024 community service requirement.
