Question 1

What is considered an SL Project?

Accepted Answer

An SL project is one with activities planned by the OT members, which meet the needs of the selected organisation as well as the team’s service objectives. On the other hand, if an event is planned by the organisation and the OT members chip in to volunteer, it can only be considered as an individual VIA instead of an SL project.
 
There should also be some form of interaction with the organisation as VIA hours will be endorsed by the organisation. Thus, simply raising awareness about a general subject or hosting activities for the students typically does not qualify as an SL.

Question 2

Why am I not able to change the status of my project activity from 'rejected' to 'completed'

Accepted Answer

Ensure that the following criteria are met:
The end date must be earlier than the current date.
The team leader or a member has to complete the self-reflection survey.
A member has to upload a scanned PDF or document as a testimony.

Question 3

If I conducted an activity before my proposal was approved on ISP, can the VIA hours be counted?

Accepted Answer

Any activities conducted prior to approval of the team's proposal will not be acknowledged and endorsed for VIA hours; the team will also face disciplinary actions and the proposal will be rejected. While planning for your project, do take into account overall time needed for the proposal to be approved.
