Member Requirements
To remain in good standing and receive your senior cord/NHS certificate when you
graduate:
  • Maintain at least a 3.5 weighted GPA.
  • Attend all monthly meetings. One excused absence is permitted per
    academic school year, provided that you contact an officer beforehand.
  • Join the NHS Remind and Google Classroom.
  • Pay your club dues on the SRV Webstore every year. Dues are $21.05 and
    must be paid before the second November meeting (11/14). It is your
    responsibility to know whether you qualify for this or not. No Refunds will be
    issued.
  • Complete 5 active points and 5 passive points per semester. These can be
    found from your own research, or the ones presented at meetings. You must
    submit both forms before the final meeting of each semester.
    • Active point: Any time you volunteer for at least 1 hour. (Cannot be
      paid work)
    • Passive point: Any time you make a physical or monetary donation.
      One donation as a whole earns one passive point, not one point per
      item donated. (e.g., A donation of 10 books to a book drive
      corresponds to one passive point, not 10 passive points.) Monetary
      donations must be at least $10.
    • Try to vary your active/passive points. A random selection of
      members will be asked for proof of their completed points.
  • Complete your Individual Service Project (ISP) every year. An ISP is 30 hours
    dedicated to a single project or organization that helps your community.
    Members work on their ISP over both semesters and submit a printed/signed
    copy of the ISP Form at the April meeting.
