Community Service Initiative
Student Community Service Application form
Objective:
Provide students with the opportunity to utilize community service through Parking and Transportation Services as an alternative for paying one specified parking citation per semester, subject to certain eligibility requirements. Community service hours are scheduled in various departments on campus, beginning as early as 5:00 a.m. or as late as 9:00 p.m. Limited weekend hours are available as well. Community service hours are scheduled on a first come, first served basis.
Eligibility:
- Each student is limited to one (1) community service exemption per semester.
- Community service is limited to specific citations listed below in Appendix A. Citations Eligible for Community Service Initiative. Citations of an egregious nature (e.g. stolen/altered decal) including but not limited to those which qualify as Code of Student Life offenses, as well as those impacting health/safety/welfare (e.g. fire lane/handicap space) are not eligible.
- Moving violations (UNCW and NC) issued by UNCW Police are not eligible for this program.
- The student is required to notify Parking and Transportation Services within seven (7) business days of receiving their citation (normal appeal timeline) of their intent to utilize the community service initiative.
- The student is required to complete community service hours within 15 days of approval of community service agreement and within 15 days of the end of the academic semester.
- If the student fails to complete scheduled community service hours, the citation will be reinstated for the full amount of the citation and the student loses the community service option for the semester.
Students should contact Parking and Transportation Services at 910-962-3178 or email: parking@uncw.edu to determine eligibility for the Community Service Initiative.
