| University Shuttles | Service Learning students may access the Loyola on-call Shuttle for transportation to and from select sites within close proximity of campus. Shuttle service is managed and scheduled through Campus Police. Scheduling requires at least two days prior notice and transportation is not guaranteed. |
All students who regularly travel off-campus for service learning are entitled to a 10% transportation credit toward service learning hours. This means that 10% of a student's total required hours can be counted toward transportation. For example, if a student must do 20 hours of service learning, 2 hours can be counted toward transportation. If a student documents 18 hours of on-site service time, requirements have been met. Transportation Credit is not available for sites with virtual or remote service learning.
