Use this type of Learning Agreement if you have made arrangements with a specific community partner for your course(s). This will allow community partners to sign off on a single learning agreement that can be applied to all students who engaged with them through your course(s).
As the instructor, you are responsible for communicating the CBL Learning Agreement Expectations with students and the community partner.
Please submit to the CBL Program with either hard signatures, electronic signatures, or email acknowledgement by the community partner.
This Learning Agreement will be applied across all students in your course who are engaging with the specific Community Partner
Students will still need to submit their portion of the Learning Agreement.
