Complete All ODC Modules

Presidents and Treasurers must complete all five required ODC training modules through the Apply for Opportunity form.

Presidents and Treasurers will need to enter their First and Last names as well as the name of your student organization for each quiz they complete to receive full credit. Do NOT complete these training modules under someone else's Presence account. Doing so will result in your submission being denied.

When completing that form, you will want to select the appropriate option(s) under “Experience”:  

1. Under Opportunity Type Select Experience
2. Under Experience Type select: 2023-2024 Organizational Development Course
3. Under Experience select the module you have completed.

You will need to complete this process for each of the six modules you complete.

This form will quiz you on the content covered in each of the modules.  Please submit a form with all the correct responses to complete each of these modules.  Once all required sections of the modules have been completed, you will be done with this part of the recognition requirement.
