Co-Curricular at TU What Is TU’s Co-Curricular Program? The Tiffin University Co-Curricular Program provides personal development and service learning opportunities for students. TU is committed to education both in the classroom as well as in the “real world” – on campus, through work experiences, and through volunteer experiences. The purpose of a college education is to develop into a well- rounded, educated individual. To help facilitate this development process, Tiffin University requires all bachelor’s degree students to participate in the CoCurricular Program. What are the Co-Curricular Requirements? One of Tiffin University’s graduation requirements for students is completion of a total of 26 hours of Co-Curricular credit. Students must earn one unit of Co-Curricular credit for personal development (13 hours), and one unit of credit for service learning (13 hours). All activities must be completed on a volunteer basis, and not required by an employer, professor, or coach. Certain activities such as babysitting, craft and make-up parties, and planning weddings will not be considered for credit. Also, compensation cannot be received for participation.
Founded in 1888, Tiffin University is proud to offer a personal and practical education for motivated, professionally focused students who want real-world experiences and results.
What about Adult Students Returning to School? Students who have earned 50 hours or more of transferable credit prior to enrolling at Tiffin University, or who are 23 years of age or older prior to enrolling at Tiffin University, may satisfy the Co-Curricular requirement by submitting a Co-Curricular Credit Alternative Form, Co-Curricular Alternative Form.pdf, to the Co-Curricular Committee. You can submit personal development and service learning activities for credit that you have completed within the last five years. (continued on page 2)
