Resolution # 2024-02
Resolved, That courses awarded SL course-based focus designations at UHWO may be
taught with or without the SL focus designation, at the discretion of the division head and the
instructor; and be it
Resolved, That any instructor authorized to teach a course at UHWO with a course-based SL
focus designation is recommended to consult any training, orientation, and/or materials provided
by the focus designation subcommittee; and be it
Resolved, That SL designations shall be awarded for classes in which SL is worth 20% (minimum)
of the class total.
Effective Fall 2024 Upon Approval
Intended Purpose or Rationale
The purpose of the change is to make SL offerings easier to manage and more predictable
and consistent so that it is easier for students to plan programs of study to their degrees.
This will make the Service-learning designation consistent with the Sustainability Focused
designation to acknowledge that once a course has been designated as SL, it can be taught
that way anytime during its approval period.
