    • Required hours have been reduced from 30 hours to 20 hours
    • Application deadline has been extended to Friday, May 1
    • Supervisor signatures: If you’re unable to get a supervisor’s signature, please make a notation in your application. If you choose to use the Helper Helper App for verification, contact Katherine Walton for password & assistance.

    To apply, follow instructions on Application & Verification forms. Students can now email applications here by taking photos of their forms. The new process may be confusing, so email questions to APC program coordinators! For more info, view program overview, instructions & guidelines.
