How Our EL Credit Works
Guided jointly by a work supervisor and SASAH’s EL Specialist, students undertake an internship or community-engaged-learning (CEL) opportunity in their field of choice in the non-profit, public, or private sector.
Students complete the EL course by participating in:
- 1 Internship – 1.0 credit
- or 1 CEL – 1.0 credit
- or a combination of two such credits worth 0.5 each
Students have several options for finding EL opportunities, including
- applying for an internship with one of SASAH’s partners or an organization through Western Connect or another employment website, or a personal network,
- applying for a CEL with a non-profit partner on their own or, in fourth year, through Student Experience.
Student-found internships, CELs, and independent projects must be proposed and approved before the term in which they are to occur.
SASAH students can find more information on the EL requirement in SASAH’s EL site in OWL or contact Dr. Barbara Bruce at bbruce2@uwo.ca.
