Tracking your Service Hours
Service is tracked using a 2 part process
Part I – Hours Tracking Your hours are to be tracked using our online system. You
can submit the form for EACH agency you work with.
If you volunteer at 8 agencies, you will need to submit the form 8 times
This information is detailed and asks for specific questions
Part II – Hours Verification You will need to get a half-sheet form completed and turned
into the Office of Student Engagement with proper signatures
How to Track your Hours
Http://www.missouristate.edu/volunteer Click “Track your Service Hours”
All Service hours are completed using CampusLINK
Verifying your Hours
In addition to tracking your individual hours you will need to get verification for your house
The “Service Hours Verification” sheet contains the basic information for your service hours
As many agencies/service days as you want can be completed on each form
This MUST be turned in within 30 days of completing your service
