Volunteering

The volunteer recognition scheme monitors, acknowledges and rewards the hard work and commitment of volunteers making a difference within the St Andrews community. Students can sign up to the scheme via the Graduate Attributes Portal, where they can log their volunteering hours and projects. Students who have their volunteering efforts formally recognised on their Higher Education Achievement Report (HEAR) and are formally recognised at our Volunteer Celebration event at the end of Semester Two. Thank you for all your hard work volunteering – St Andrews wouldn’t be the same without you!

To find out more about how to log your volunteer hours, please consult the Graduate Attributes Portal Guide

We've also created specific editions of this guide to help you log your volunteering hours during Freshers' and Refreshers' Week, with examples to help you. Please consult these guides below:
