HCU Online Student Orientation

Online Community Life & Worship

Participation in the Community Life and Worship Program (CLW) is a graduation requirement for all degree-seeking undergraduate students. Students must earn a total of 80 CLW credits for graduation. The HCU Student Handbook contains a complete description of the CLW credit system. CLW events offered each semester are listed on the HCU website at HC.edu/CLW.

CLWs help prioritize the kinds of spiritual growth that will help us to integrate our academic and professional advancement into a holistic excellence that will cause us to flourish as humans. Community Life and Worship guides you into practices and patterns of relationships that will serve your spiritual formation and fruitfulness for the rest of your life. For this reason, we recommend that you obtain your CLW credits by attending on-campus events if possible. Contact  SpiritualLife@HC.edu for more information about on-campus CLW opportunities.

As an online student, you also have the option to fulfill your required 80 CLW credits by watching the convocation videos published in Blackboard. For more information about accessing these videos or obtaining your CLW credits online, contact OnlineAdvising@HC.edu.
