I am a student and I have completed several hours of community service hours. How do I get these approved and validated so that they are reflected on my co-curricular transcript on CatLife?

Reporting service hours to Catlife is important because it captures the total service hours completed by your organization and it helps us identify the great work our UC Merced scholars are engaging in. The process takes less than 5 minutes.

• Here is a step-by-step tutorial on how to report your hours on Catlife:
  • You can visit the Community Engagement Center’s Youtube channel to watch the video
• Please be aware that even though philanthropy is important and impactful, we will only be approving direct service hours. If you need a refresher on what counts as philanthropy versus what is direct service, you can click here.
• For any additional questions, please reach out to the Community Engagement Center at communityservice@ucmerced.edu or visit us at KL 190.
