Procedure

Choosing a Public Service Activity

You are responsible for selecting the public service activity you would like to perform to fulfill Gonzaga's public service requirement.

You may choose an agency on your own, through the law school public service liaison, through Gonzaga University's Service Learning Website, or through the Community Service Fair held on main campus each semester.

If choose an activity on your own, your choice must be authorized by the law school's Public Service Liaison, who will consult with CCASL's Service Learning Coordinator.

If you need help selecting an activity, consider using Gonzaga University's Service Learning website. It has information on agencies that cooperate with the Center for Community Action and Service Learning (CCASL).

How to Certify Your Public Service activity

1. Once you have selected an agency, download the required Approval/Completion Form. (The form is also available outside the Registrar's office.)
2. Complete the form, keeping two copies – one for yourself and one to submit to the Public Service Liaison, the agency, and the Registrar as you receive approval and complete your public service.
3. Submit the completed form to the Public Service Liaison.
4. Once you have completed the approval section of the form and have received authorization, you'll meet with the organization you've chosen to coordinate training, hours, and other details.
   Important: During this initial meeting, it is your responsibility to supply the Approval/Completion Form to the agency you'll be working with.
5. When you have completed your service, have the agency complete the form.
6. Finally, submit the completed form to the Registrar; it must be presented to the Registrar upon completion of your service duty.

Got all that? If you have any questions, please contact the Public Service Liaison or your faculty advisor.
