Please note, students may use a total of two Leadership Labs to count for James Scholar credit. If you have already attended two Leadership Labs for James Scholar credit, please select another option.
To receive James Scholar credit, you will need to follow these steps in order:
1. Register for an option through the Leadership Center website: It needs to be a program you have not previously attended.
2. Student must be aware of ILC registration deadlines and capacity limits and be certain they register as soon as possible to ensure the program can be taken. Once you receive an email registration confirmation from the Leadership Center, you will need to upload the confirmation to your eHCLA (for programs which registration opens after the deadline for submitting the eHCLA).
3. Submit the eHCLA by March 1st or October 1st to indicate which program you will (or did) attend.
4. Once you attend the program, you will upload a pdf or jpeg of your certificate from the Leadership Center. If you do not submit this by the date indicated in your e-mail, James Scholar project credit will not be awarded for the Lab.
To receive James Scholar credit for attending an Illinois Leadership Lab, students are expected to be an active and positive participant.
