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.
