Welcome to Compact2Learn!

Compact2Learn is a tool used to capture student civic engagement experiences and measure civic learning outcomes. Students use Compact2Learn to track the details of their service or civic engagement programs, allowing institutions to evaluate student learning outcomes. Compact2Learn offers a forms and evaluation tool and an optional Online Approval feature, which allows supervisors and faculty to verify service or civic engagement programs. You can use Compact2Learn to approve or reject student activities and complete forms and evaluations. Additionally, you are notified via email once a student submits activities for approval or you must complete a form or evaluation.

If you are a supervisor at multiple institutions, you can review all your student activities in one Compact2Learn account.
