CSH 4000:CSH Work Experience

0 Credit Hours
Work experience hours that are industry related (culinary or hospitality) need to be verified by submitting documentation from the work establishment that shows the number of hours worked and the job title/description. Students should hold on to these documents until they are ready to be submitted in the semester the student is taking the CSH 4000 class. Working “under the table” is not considered for work experience hours (plus, illegal).

Notes: In order to graduate, students must complete a minimum of 600 industry-related work
experience/volunteerism/service hours, with a minimum 200 of those hours being industry-focused volunteer (non-paid) service hours through VKSU. Any exceptions to the VKSU site requirement require written approval in advance by the department chair. All 600 hours may be acquired through volunteerism/service.

Upon completion of the requirements, or in the semester in which the student is certain they will complete the requirements, students will register for CSH 4000 (for work experience) and/or CSH 4010 (for volunteerism).These classes are zero-credit, pass/fail classes used for certification that the required hours were completed, and appear in DegreeWorks. Only register for these courses if the hours will be completed by the end of the semester.
