NOTE:

Beta Alpha Psi recognizes professional and community service hours completed outside the fraternity—examples include workshops held by Student Services and community service events held by fraternities/sororities. You can earn a maximum of 2.5 outside professional hours and 2.5 outside community service hours. However, in order to get credit for those hours, you will need to fill out a confirmation form with a business card and a signature from a professional at the event every time such an occasion rises. To ensure you receive credit for outside hours, please confirm with the VP of membership or VP of Fraternal Affairs prior to the event. Outside Confirmation Forms are available online at www.uscbay.org and in the BAY office.
