SERVICE HOURS
1. Failure to meet a service hour deadline will result in a demerit and the following consequence. For every hour you did not complete by the deadline, you will complete double that amount of hours (in addition to the original requirements) the following semester.
- Example: Joe only completed 6 out of his 8 hours during semester 1 (2 hours short). On top of his 8 hours required for semester 2, he will have to complete 4 addition hours to make up for the 2 hours he did not complete during semester 1. This makes a total of 12 hours for semester 2 for Joe.
2. You may only earn service hours for NHS sponsored events on sign up genius.
3. If you have a service idea, inform the officers about the potential opportunity and it will be decided if the service opportunity meets the criteria below. All Service events must be within 30 miles of Dulles High School, benefit the community, and be nonprofit in nature.
CANCELLATION OF SERVICE EVENTS
1. If NHS cancels a service event with less than a 24 hour notice, members that were signed up to attend will receive half of the credit hours they signed up for.
2. If NHS cancels a service event with more than a 24 hour notice, members that were signed up to attend will receive no credit hours.
3. If an NHS member cancels a service event that they signed up for with less than a 24 hour notice, they must get a replacement or they will receive a demerit.
