How Do I Submit EL Activities?

UNF has a rich history of Experiential Learning.

For years, UNF tracked Experiential Learning using various methods. The initial phase of recognizing Experiential Learning activities will take advantage of past processes. An institutional audit of currently offered Experiential Learning courses wrapped in May 2025. Results of this audit led to the a new course attribute designation, ELRC. Students can use this attribute to search the Course Catalog for officially designated Experiential Learning courses starting in Spring 2026. *Note this process is at the course, not section, level* 

At the conclusion of this process, over 500 courses received the new ELRC course attribute with every academic program having at least one course-based opportunity for students.

New Experiential Learning activities or courses

UNF supports students meeting the Experiential Learning graduation requirement through either designated Experiential Learning Courses or Non-Credit Bearing Experiential Learning (NCEL) opportunities.

Non-Credit Bearing Experiential Learning (NCEL)

The Experiential Learning Steering Committee (ELSC) reviews submissions of NCEL activities for inclusion in the Experiential Learning requirement. The ELSC uses the Engage UNF platform to accept and review NCEL activities. For more information on this process, contact the Office of Experiential Learning, explearn@unf.edu, to set up an initial consultation and access to the submission process.

Experiential Learning Courses

UNF will continue to work on ways to streamline the Experiential Learning recognition process through existing systems, when and where possible. We are exploring ways to embed an Experiential Learning review process into the current Academic Programs Committee curriculum review workflow. Until this system is in place, please contact the Office of Experiential Learning, explearn@unf.edu, to assist with the designation process.

The Office of Experiential Learning is always open to consulting with academic departments and programs to ensure that courses contain institutional criteria for Experiential Learning and assist with the ELRC designation process. Include us in the process early on if you are considering new courses or course changes, as we are happy to partner with you on these processes.
