College or University SR 19-04, 06/19 (MAM-A)

_____________________________________________________________

Credit a recipient for community engagement when the recipient is enrolled at an accredited college or university. For college courses to count towards community engagement a college or university must be accredited. See https://www.neche.org/institutions/nh/ for a list of accredited colleges and university in New Hampshire. See https://ope.ed.gov/dapip/#/home for a database of all accredited colleges. The recipient does not need to be attending classes in person. Recipients can report attending a college or university by submitting BFA Form 321, Reporting Education Participating for Community Engagement.

Recipients must verify enrollment at an accredited college or university by providing a copy of the recipient’s class schedule that includes the total credit hours, the semester start date, and the semester end date. Community engagement credit is based on the number of credit hours the recipient is enrolled in not the total number of hours the recipient spends in class or studying. Recipients will get credit for community engagement for the month equal to the recipient’s total number of credit hours multiplied by 4.33.
