Instructors and faculty planning to incorporate community engagement into their Fall 2023 courses are encouraged to apply for the Community Engaged Course (CEC) designation in MyUI. This designation allows students to proactively identify and register for courses that include community partnerships.

Instructors will be notified within two weeks of submitting their application whether their course received the CEC designation. If the course did not meet the CEC criteria, instructors will receive feedback and support in making any modifications that would contribute to a stronger CEC application. Applicants will have time to re-submit their CEC application before the final list is due to the Office of the Registrar shortly before early registration for the Fall 2023 semester begins.

Courses previously designated as a CEC should be submitted using the abbreviated Re-Designation application. All applications are due by Monday, March 27 at 5 PM.

The Office of Community Engagement is available to assist instructors in developing their CEC courses. Please reach out to Nick Benson at nicholas-benson@uiowa.edu to receive help in designing your course to meet the CEC designation standards.
