Applying to ROSI: A Step-by-Step Guide
Please read and follow these steps carefully to make sure your application is processed quickly.
Step 1
Decide on an activity and find a Supervisor. Your Supervisor
should be someone who is in a position of authority within your
activity and who can attest to your participation. You should have
regular contact with your Supervisor and he or she should be able to
give an accurate description of your involvement. Marianopolis
students may not act as supervisors. If you are unsure about who to
choose as a Supervisor, you can discuss your options with the ROSI
Project Coordinator, Sharon Rankin.
Step 2
Verify that you are eligible by filling out the Registration & Objectives Form.
You may submit the form at any time during the academic year, as long
as it is before you begin your activity. You will be notified
regarding your eligibility for ROSI.
Step 3
Participate in your activity. As you progress, you may want to
jot down some important details about your involvement that would
help you fill in the Self-Evaluation Form, such as what your responsibilities are, the projects you participate
in, and examples of how you exhibited leadership, initiative,
team-building, etc. You must complete 60 hours of involvement within
four months of beginning your activity
Step 4
Complete the rest of the Self-Evaluation Form and have your Supervisor complete the Supervisor Tracking Form. Remember to be specific and give examples wherever possible. Both of these forms can be filled in online. You can log in to ROSI at any time to check which forms have been submitted. We recommend that you submit these forms as soon as possible after completing your activity, and they must be submitted within a maximum of three months.
Be aware of the deadlines.
All hours must be completed within four months of the start of
your activity, and all documentation must be submitted within three
months of the completion of your activity. For the mention to appear on
the first printing of your academic transcript, all documentation
must be submitted by the last day of class of the relevant term. If
the documentation is submitted later, your recognition will appear the
next time your transcript is produced by the Registrar's Office.
