Civic Engagement

Connect. Contribute. Grow.

Civic Engagement at the Kellogg Honors College invites students to explore the world beyond the classroom. Through meaningful involvement in communities — on campus or beyond — students learn about real-world challenges, build connections, and gain a deeper appreciation for the impact they can make. It’s an opportunity to grow as engaged citizens and thoughtful leaders while building community within KHC.

Get Involved with Communities

Make a difference locally or globally by connecting with communities on campus, across the state, or around the world.
Explore Real-World Issues

Gain insight into the challenges that shape your community and expand your understanding through hands-on learning.
Build Connections Within KHC

Collaborate with fellow Honors students and strengthen the sense of belonging that defines the KHC experience.

Civic Engagement Requirements

Meeting Your CE Requirement

KHC students must complete the following CE credits by the end of spring semester of every academic year. Requirements are based on how students were admitted to the KHC. Civic Engagement is not required for students graduating mid-year and enrolled in fewer than 24 units in their final year.

Freshman

2 credits in Years 1 & 2, then 1 credit each following year.

Sophomores

2 credits in Year 1, then 1 credit each following year.

Transfers

2 credits in Year 1, then 1 credit each following year.

KHC students earn 1 CE credit for every Service Learning (S) course passed with a B+ or better. Service Learning courses are distinguished by the "S" in the course title (e.g. EWS 2800S, IGE 1100HS). Information on the S courses is available at CPP's Center for Community Engagement. Students must notify the KHC academic coordinator upon completing a S class to earn CE credit.

If you apply, are accepted, and successfully complete the College Corp Fellows program this will serve as completion of your entire CE requirement for KHC. To learn more about this program click here.

Students can view and sign-up for events on the KHC's Canvas page. Earned CE credits are posted on that page.

Missing or Extra Credits

Students who do not complete the full number of required CE credits will be dismissed from the KHC or required to make-up the missing credits the following year. Students who complete more than the minimum CE credits may rollover extra credits toward next year's requirements, but students must complete at least 1 CE credit every year regardless of rollover credits.
