UT Dallas VolunTIER Program

1. Go to utdallas.givepulse.com and click on the “Log In” link. We recommend doing so on a desktop or laptop device.
2. Use Your NetID and password to log in to the system.
3. Click on the “Add Impact” button.
4. If you volunteered at a UTD event, check the drop-down menu to see if it’s listed there.
5. If you volunteered at a non-UTD event—or if your event isn’t listed in the drop-down menu—click on the “Change” button.
6. Type your organization name in the search bar to see if it appears. Make sure to change the mileage or zip code filters if necessary.
7. If your organization appears, click on it. If it doesn’t appear, click on the “Can’t find it?” button.
8. Add the name and address of the organization.
9. You must add the event organizer’s name and email address. This is the person who oversaw your volunteering and can verify your hours. Only the person who oversaw your volunteering can approve your hours.
10. Add the date that you volunteered. Click the “+Time” button to add the exact hours that you volunteered. The system will automatically calculate your total hours in the “Impact Type & Measurement” section below.
11. Don’t add bulk hours in this section. Please add your hours to the EngageUTD system after each volunteer opportunity. For instance, don’t input March 2 as your volunteer date, then add 175 hours to that date.
12. If you need to add hundreds of hours to the system at once to account for service opportunities you’ve already taken part in, we recommend adding those either as month-by-month bulk additions or semester-by-semester bulk additions. Please don’t add bulk hours that span multiple semesters to a single date. Get in touch with us at servicehonors@utdallas.edu if you have any questions about this process.
13. You can add a review, reflection, feedback, or notes if you desire, but this is optional.
14. Under “Sharing and Privacy Settings,” do not change or delete the groups that automatically appear there. We use these group affiliations to properly track your hours.
15. Click on the “Add Impact” button, and you’ll be taken to your personal dashboard. You’ll see the hours you’ve submitted along with a “pending” icon that lets you know whether your hours have been verified or not.
16. Once you click on the “Add Impact” button, an email will be sent to the event organizer, asking them to verify your hours. All they have to do is click “yes,” and the icon on this screen will shift from “pending” to “accepted.”
17. Each time you submit volunteer hours using this form, an email will be sent to the event organizer for approval.
