Encourage students to register their Semester 1 volunteering hours

26 Nov 2020

It's not too late for students to get involved

Volunteering

We need your help to encourage undergraduate students to register any volunteering hours they’ve completed so far on the University’s Volunteer Hub. Submitting these hours by Christmas gives our team a better idea of how many students still need support in achieving the Stellify Award.

This year, undergraduates only need 25 hours to qualify for the Stellify Award which they can accrue by volunteering from home or supporting organisations in socially distanced roles.

How can I help?

Are you running a volunteer project? Log those hours!

If you run a project that uses student volunteers, please ensure that you have posted the hours for your volunteers on Volunteer Hub. You can also encourage any students who you know who volunteer, to ask their organisation to post their hours for them.

Share our video

If a student has found a volunteering position independently (that’s not advertised on the Volunteer Hub), they will need to upload their hours themselves. They can follow the instructions from our ‘How to’ video.

Remind students of the Higher Education Achievement Record (HEAR)

If students aren’t aiming for the Stellify Award, they should still log their hours. If they complete the ‘Make a Difference’ section it will appear on their HEAR record. They can share their transcript with potential employers as a verified account of their volunteering.
