Section II: Enrollment

1. Who must enroll in CSER?

   1. All residential undergraduate students who are full-time during the fall or spring semester are required to be enrolled in a CSER.  Undergraduate students are considered full-time if they are taking twelve (12) or more credit hours in a given semester.
      
      Note: This requirement does not apply to dually-enrolled students unless the student has 12 undergraduate credits during their dual-enrolled semester.

   2. According to the student’s Degree Completion Plan (DCP), BWVW 101 and BWVW 102 are a student’s first two CSER requirements.

2. What are BWVW 101 and BWVW 102?

   • According to the student’s Degree Completion Plan (DCP), BWVW 101 and BWVW 102 are a student’s first two CSER requirements.
   1. BWVW 101: BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW I
      This course is designed to aid the student in the development of a biblical worldview. This will involve an introduction to critical thinking, an evaluation of contemporary moral philosophies, and an affirmation of absolute truth. Students will be challenged to integrate a biblical worldview into their Christian/Community Service.
      BWVW 101 is a Prerequisite for BWVW 102
       
   2. BWVW 102: BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW II
      This course is a study of contemporary moral issues encountered by students in their Christian/Community Service. Students will be challenged to evaluate these issues and understand their responsibilities to them in light of a biblical worldview.
      Prerequisite: BWVW 101
      
      Note: Students who have failed either or both BWVWs will be required to enroll in the needed CSERs to keep from falling behind in their graduation requirements.  These students will be doing CSER while simultaneously completing their BWVW requirements.

3. When may a student enroll in a CSER?

   • Students may enroll during the fall, spring or summer semesters.
     
     Note: Although CSER is not required during the summer semester, a CSER earned over the summer may count for a previous or future semester (See details at Section IV.G.)
   1. FALL SEMESTER
      The Christian/Community Service Registration Fair occurs during the first week of the fall semester. CSER supervisors are invited to represent their area of service and register students. Students are not required to register during the fair, but are encouraged to do so.  Otherwise, they are responsible to register through the Center for CSER  before the Add/Drop deadline.
      The Add/Drop deadline for the FALL semester is the first Monday in October.  A $10.00 late fee will be added to the student’s Liberty University account after this date.
      
      Note: CSERs REGISTERED FOR IN THE FALL WILL AUTOMATICALLY CARRY OVER TO THE SPRING SEMESTER, BUT NOT THE SUMMER SEMESTER. Students must understand that they are making a one-year commitment to the organization when they enroll in the fall semester. If they wish to change CSERs in the spring, they must follow the proper procedures (See Section II.E. below).
       
   2. SPRING SEMESTER
      There is no Registration Fair in the spring semester. Consequently, students enrolling in CSER for the spring semester are responsible to register through the Center for CSER by the Add/Drop deadline.
      The Add/Drop deadline for the SPRING semester is the first Monday in March. A $10.00 late fee will be added to the student’s Liberty University account after this date.
       
   3. SUMMER SEMESTER
      Students must complete the appropriate forms and obtain the necessary signatures before they can receive credit for a summer CSER. Students must obtain these forms in the Center for CSER. If possible, it is recommended that students finalize their summer CSER enrollments prior to leaving at the end of the spring semester.  Otherwise, they are responsible to register through the Center for CSER before the Add/Drop deadline.
      The Add/Drop deadline for the SUMMER semester is the first Monday in July.  A $10.00 late fee will be added to the student’s Liberty University account after this date.
      
      Note: Winter Break is not an official CSER semester, but students may use the break between the fall and spring semesters to make up missed CSERs should they fall behind (See Section III.F.).  If a student wishes to use the break for this purpose, they must make application and receive approval through the Center for CSER prior to receiving credit. Without prior approval from the Center for CSER, students run the risk of having their CSERs denied due to their failure to conform to established CSER criteria.
      All hours must be completed within the Winter Break.
      
      Special note on Winterfest: Effective fall 2009 Winterfest will no longer be applied to a student’s spring semester of the following year. This CSER opportunity may be used for students’ fall semester CSERs of the same year or, like any other CSER, to catch up if they fall behind in previous semesters.

4. Do students need to re-register their fall CSERs in the spring semester?

   • No.  CSERs REGISTERED FOR IN THE FALL WILL AUTOMATICALLY CARRY OVER TO THE SPRING SEMESTER, BUT NOT THE SUMMER SEMESTER. Students must understand that they are making a one-year commitment to the organization when they enroll in the fall semester.
      

5. May students change (Add/Drop) their CSERs?

   • Yes. Students wishing to change a CSER for which they are registered must obtain signed permission from their CSER supervisor and receive approval from the Center for CSER. The appropriate CSER Add/Drop form is available in the Center for CSER.
     
     Note: A $10.00 late fee will be applied to every drop and every add after the deadline of a given semester. (See Add/Drop Deadlines in Section II.C.1-3 above.).
