Service opportunities through clubs/organizations do not get entered into the x2vol database for the students. It is the responsibility of the student to submit club hours (i.e. NHS) for approval.

3/5 of your required hours must have been completed. If you entered as a freshman in the fall, this correlates to 30 hours.
Does time spent planning an event count for service hours?
Students should not count meeting times, shopping, cooking, sleeping, travel, planning or free time, but they may count any time spent publicizing the activity, including stuffing envelopes, hanging flyers, and similar tasks.
How fast will my hours be accepted?
Usually within seven days of being verified.

Where can I volunteer?
Volunteer work must benefit those in need. Approved agencies and organizations include, but are not limited to, hospitals, social service agencies, fundraising organizations for health causes, and fundraising organizations for low-income schools. Service opportunities will be posted on this website and on the QR codes above the water fountains. The only stipulations are that you can't count leading religious discussion groups.
How does donating count towards service hours?
Used items do not count toward CSC credit. For new/monetary donations, the ratio is $25 = 1 hour and $50 = 2 hours. While other organizations may have different requirements, you can only earn a maximum of two hours per donation event for CSC credit. To receive credit, students must provide proof of monetary value (receipt) to one of the CSC sponsors, or include a scanned copy as an attachment when entering the hours online.
When do I need to submit my hours by?
Within 60 days of service beginning date. If you have a long term project that will last longer than 60 days, please email Tyson Peterson to discuss the parameters for your project.
What do the different hour totals listed on x2Vol mean?
- Total hours approved (in the green box) - meet Kiltie guidelines and count towards graduation.
- Total hours claimed - hours submitted for approval. This doesn't mean all will be approved or count for graduation.
- Total hours verified - contact name you provided can verify completion of the hours. Verified hours might not meet Kiltie guidelines and can be denied. Also, some organizations accidentally delete the email that provides the link for them to verify these hours, so some hours may never be verified, and that's ok. If hours are not verified, it does not automatically mean your hours will be denied. However, if your contact says you did not complete as many hours as you are claiming, any additional hours you claim most likely will be denied.
- Total hours pending - hours waiting for approval. No action needed from a student at this point.
- Rarely do all three of these numbers match. The category you need to be most concerned about is "Total Hours Approved."
