  16. Top 9 Questions Does it cost anything to attend? No. This program is a student fee funded program, with very minimal costs due to the generosity and time of many faculty and staff across our campus.

  17. Top 8 Questions What are the time requirements? The real question is how much time would you like to put into your experience. On average, workshops are 60 minutes, some are longer and service hours are required for every certificate. For example, at the very minimum, one certificate will take a total of 16 hours; 8 hours for the 60 minute workshop choices and 8 hours of community service.

  18. Top 7 Questions I read in the Capstone Certificate that there is a leadership experience requirement. Can I count something that I went to last year? Sometimes. In most cases, if you went through a previous leadership experience that has taken place at CSU, come to the SLiCE office and ask us. There are some you can count because we have them on record already and we recognize that CSU has a lot of great opportunities. Also, there might be some that you may not be able to count.

  19. Top 6 Questions Can I do more than one interest certificate? Yes. You may complete as many of the certificates as you would like. If your goal is to complete the Capstone Certificate, you must complete at least 3 of the interest certificates.

  20. Top 5 Questions How do we know when we've completed a certificate? Do you keep track of our activity? We require participants to sign in at each workshop they attend so we can record attendance. We also require participants to complete the Certificate Completion Form.

  21. Top 4 Questions Does the community service I perform have to be through the REAL Experience? No. Community service can be performed individually or with a group. It can also be something you are already doing on your own. When you are ready to notify of us of what your community service project (or projects) was, we will have a form in the SLiCE office for you to complete.

  22. Top 3Questions I'm a senior graduating in May, can I fulfill a certificate in time? Yes. The completion of a certificate just depends on how much time you want to put in.

  23. Top 2Questions What if I'm not involved on campus, can I still participate? Yes. This could be your first step in connecting with a staff member or other participants in which your interest has been peaked to get involved somewhere else in the community.

  24. Top 1Questions How do I apply? There is no application process, just drop by a workshop today.
