Service Hours

Proof of Service Hours

UT Dallas students needing proof of service hours for a class, organization, court order, etc., may choose to request authorization for the service they have completed. The Office of Student Volunteerism is happy to approve service hours for students that participate in OSV service events. Students may request approval through OrgSync:

  1. Log in to OrgSync and join the Office of Student Volunteerism's page by clicking the "Join" button in the top right corner of the Office of Student Volunteerism's page.
  2. Submit a timesheet by using the Involvement function on OrgSync. OSV will approve hours after the student has volunteered/participated at an OSV event. For a walk-through on how to submit a volunteer record using the Involvement function, please click here. The student must choose the "Office of Student Volunteerism" from their list of OrgSync organizations so that the OSV can view the hours submitted. Please add the appropriate staff member’s name to the “Reference Name” field and use [email protected] as the reference email.

Alternatively, students may also bring a form provided by a professor, judge, organization, etc. to a volunteer event or OSV office (SSA 14.431T) to be signed and authorized.

Please note that the OSV is not responsible for providing proof of service hours. It is the student's responsibility to provide documentation to whom it may concern. OSV can only authorize hours for OSV events; consequently, we cannot authorize hours earned from outside agencies, student organizations or other UT Dallas departments. Students that serve outside of the OSV will need to confirm their hours with the agency, student organization, or department that hosted the specific event or service project.

VolunTIER

OSV events are approved by the Office of Undergraduate Education's VolunTIER program. To receive credit for your service, undergraduate students must submit a timesheet via OrgSync as specified above. For more information about VolunTIER, please see the VolunTIER website: oue.utdallas.edu/voluntier.
