At this time, only Schulich students are eligible to participate in MaSCOt. For students in other faculties, visit Western Student Experience's pages on volunteering: Volunteering | Leadership and Local Co-Curricular. 

1. Complete the learning modules and pass the quiz (80%) to receive a certificate of completion.These modules (Understanding the Population, Issues Facing the London Community, Professionalism, and Community-Engaged Learning) were created to help students prepare to engage in the community. 
2. Upload certificate on Get Connected using your Western Identity (no need to sign up) and upload certificate and Vulnerable Sector Check*
3. Complete profile and start responding to needs

*If applicable. Many volunteer opportunities involve interacting with the vulnerable population, which requires a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC). If required, you will need to obtain a VSC from London Police Service.

You can access and add activities on your Western Co-Curricular Record (WCCR) through Western Connect. Once you add MaSCOt to your WWCR, the MaSCOt team will receive a notification to approve the addition. Make sure your volunteer hours are logged on Get Connected so it can be approved without delay. 

• Manage volunteer postings, including messaging students who have signed up, to provide next steps
• Keep organization's profile on Get Connected updated 
• Sign an affiliation agreement with Western. *This agreement must be in place before volunteer opportunities can be posted*
• We would love to see you at our MaSCOt events on campus
