Civic Engagement
About Civic Engagement (CE)
CE is designed for KHC students to meet the following outcomes:
- Get involved with a community, be it campus, local, state, national, or international
- Learn about issues concerning students' communities
- Participate with fellow KHC students to foster community within the Honors College
Requirements
KHC students must complete the following CE credits by the end of spring semester of every academic year. Requirements are based on how students were admitted to the KHC.
Joined as freshmen
- 1st year in the KHC: 2 credits
- 2nd year in the KHC: 2 credits
- 3rd year and after: 1 credit every year
Joined as sophomore
- 1st year in the KHC: 2 credits

Mid-year graduates
- Students graduating mid-year (enrolled less than 24 units the final year) are exempt from any CE requirements
Missing or Extra Credits
Students who do not complete the full number of required CE credits will be dismissed from the KHC or required to make-up the missing credits the following year. Students who complete more than the minimum CE credits may rollover extra credits toward next year's requirements, but students must complete at least 1 CE credit every year regardless of rollover credits.
CE Events and Credits Balance
Students can view and sign-up for events on the KHC's Canvas page. Earned CE credits are posted on that page.
Service Learning (S) Courses
KHC students earn 1 CE credit for every Service Learning (S) course passed with a B+ or better. Service Learning courses are distinguished by the "S" in the course title (e.g. EWS 2800S, IGE 1100HS). Information on the S courses is available at CPP's Center for Community Engagement. Students must notify the KHC academic coordinator upon completing a S class to earn CE credit.
