About the Community Service course

The compulsory Community Service course is a mandatory requirement for students who hold a university ID from 2019 or later.

The student must complete 16 hours of service in order to fulfill the Community Service course requirements, which are divided into two categories:

  • Community service: field activities
  • Student Activities: Attending educational lectures, seminars, conferences, courses

Activities are announced via the Community Service platform cser.psut.edu.jo

You must participate in the activity for the hours to be counted towards completing the course.

Any external activity or event that has not been published on the Community Service platform will not be counted, so please follow the activities of the Deanship of Student Affairs to be sure of participating in them.

Student volunteers:

An organizing team has been set up at the Community Service Office to deal with the organization of all the events, initiatives and activities of the Community Service Office. The team also participates in organizing and monitoring the main official university celebrations, events and activities. The team members are selected by publishing an advertisement via e-mail and social media, and then interviews are conducted to identify the selected students, after which they receive training and get involved in activities, each according to his/her skills and preferences. The work of this team is purely voluntary and the hours spent on this work is not counted towards the Community Service hours.

The team includes approximately 319 students.
