Submitting an Engaged Learning Experience on Canvas
You will Self-Enroll for Engaged Learning in Canvas the first time you use it.
1: Enter the “Join” URL for the course: https://canvas.rider.edu/enroll/GCJ4MC
2: Select “Enroll in Course.”
3: Select “Go to Course”
4: Select “Assignments” (left side of the page)
5: Select “Engaged Learning Reflection”
6: Follow the directions on the page by answering the Engaged Learning Reflection Questions
NOTE: You can submit your reflection either in the text entry box or as a file upload.
When you have completed the reflection click Submit Assignment.
A staff or faculty member will review the form to verify the dates and hours of participation and will read your reflection. The reviewer may approve your submission, or they may deny it. If denied, you will receive an email telling you how to improve or change it. Then, you should quickly resubmit it for another review. Soon after the experience is approved, the Engaged Learning Coordinator will report the points you earned to the Registrar, who will upload them so they will be displayed in DegreeWorks and in your ELT. Points are reported weekly or as needed.
Important Facts
- You cannot combine hours spent in different types of experiences into one submission form. Only information relating to that specific experience should be entered in the form.
- Hours may be accumulated over more than one semester or academic year until you can reach 20 or more in one experience. This will allow you to participate in an experience that is available for limited hours each semester or year until you can accrue 20 or more hours and can submit the experience form. Examples of this type of experience would be:
- Unified Special Olympics Bowling
- Admissions Ambassador, Bronc for a Day, and other Admissions experiences
For a list of experiences and which Engaged Learning category they will earn points in go to the Experiences On and Off Campus page.
