Students claim their MobileServe Account to track and log service hours. Campus Ministry sends the “claim your account” email out during the summer of a student’s first year of attendance. Late start or mid-year transfers are sent a copy of this message upon arrival; we modify students’ hour requirements according to their start date.

Select an eligible 501(c)3 organization from the pre-approved agency list or the resources available in the MobileServe app. If neither of those two options interests a student, they may seek pre-approval for another organization using the Special Permission Request Form.

Activities toward the annual requirement Christian Service get recorded in MobileServe. For time logs to be accepted, volunteer details and a valid verification form are required. Verification options are:

• Supervisor Signature and location verification: Enter Supervisor name AND Supervisor signature AND Geo-verification (“Attach My Location”)
• Email verification: Enter the supervisor’s name and email address within MobileServe. Ask the supervisor if they are willing to follow up on the email.
• Photos and location verification: Students upload a picture of themselves performing the service described in the “Tell Your Story” section AND Geo-verification (“Attach My Location”)
