Initial registration is for instructors who are teaching a course with a community-based learning (CBL) project/assignment for the first time.
Instructors who are considering incorporating CBL may also register to receive support from the CBL Program.
For subsequent terms, Instructors can edit their initial response and make any changes to reflect the current term and/or their current CBL project/assignment needs.
The CBL Course Catalog lists all the courses and instructors on file with the CBL Program. Instructors can click on the editing icon next to their course listing. Please contact the CBL Program if there are corrections needed and for further support.

Make Arrangements for a CBL & GivePulse Orientation for students.
As instructors, we expect that you will be going over the CBL assignment/project description and learning objectives with students.
The CBL Program will provide a general CBL & GivePulse Orientation For students who plan to complete a CBL assignment/project will need to register with the CBL Program.
The orientation is meant to provide students with:
Steps they need to get started
And Resources and tools to assist them in connecting with community partners, tracking and reporting their impacts
Due to limited staffing, it is preferred that instructors choose to have students watch a pre recorded orientation and there will be drop in office hours for students who might need additional support
Instructors do have the option to schedule an in class orientation, but if schedules can’t be accommodate then the recording will be made available to their classes instead
