Impacts (Time Cards)

In GivePulse, student interns document their service hours by submitting Impacts. Accurate Impact records are vital to monitor USL student interns’ progress towards meeting course requirements for service hours.

  • USL student interns complete and submit an Impact for each shift worked.

  • Each time a USL student intern submits an Impact, you will receive an email notice containing all Impact details.

  1. Student Interns select their supervisor as a verifier each time they submit an Impact, so mistakes may happen.

  • If you receive an impact notice for a student intern you do not supervise, dispute the Impact and for the reason, select: I am not the right person to verify

  1. Scroll down past the verify/dispute links in the email to view the Details & Additional Input (Direct/Indirect hours) sections.

  • Click the link in the email to easily verify or dispute the Impact.

  • PLEASE FIRST CAREFULLY REVIEW ALL DETAILS:

  1. Ensure the student intern accurately represented the hours served.

  2. Appropriately categorized direct and indirect service.

  3. Provided sufficient detail regarding service tasks.

  • If a student makes changes to an Impact once it is verified, the status of the impact will change to Pending and you will receive an email notice. Please verify the changes

Dispute the Impact


IMPORTANT! Hours are correlated with class grade; accurate reporting is critical!

  • Falsifying hours is a violation of academic integrity and is taken very seriously.

  • If student interns submit hours they did not complete, please notify your USL Coordinator immediately.

Zero-Hour Impacts

USL student interns are required to submit Impacts weekly. If a USL student intern does not complete hours in a given week, they will submit one Impact for zero hours, indicating the reason they did not serve that week.
