CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAM

Tiffin University believes that learning occurs in the classroom as well as on campus, through work experiences and through volunteer experiences. The purpose of a college education is to develop into a well rounded, educated individual. To help facilitate the development process, Tiffin University requires all bachelor degree students to participate in the co-curricular program.

Tiffin University’s graduation requirement is for students to complete a total of 26 hours of co-curricular credit. Students must earn one unit of co-curricular credit for personal development (13 hours) and one unit of credit for service learning (13 hours).

The co-curricular program provides personal development and service learning opportunities for students. All activities must be completed on a volunteer basis, and not required by an employer, professor, or coach. Certain activities such as babysitting, working out or other physical fitness programs (Weight Watchers, Curves, Jenny Craig, etc.), craft and make-up parties, and planning weddings will not be considered for credit. Also, compensation can not be received for participation.

Students who have earned 50 hours or more of transferable credit prior to enrolling at Tiffin University or who are 23 years of age or older prior to enrolling at Tiffin University may satisfy the co-curricular requirement by submitting a Co-Curricular Alternative Form to the Co-Curricular Committee describing previous involvement in personal development and service learning activities.
