At the bottom of Basic Profile Information under the Account tab, locate the Email Address section.

Click on the Actions down arrow and send the verification email.

Your Account page is where you edit account information. You are not required to change anything, but

it’s recommended that you update “Research” and “Causes and Skills” to help you locate opportunities

that match your interests.

Check your TCC email account for the verification email. Click the link provided to activate the account.

Now that your account has been activated, you have access to all Give Pulse functions. First, open

up your user menu to view your Dashboard and Profile options.

Dashboard—The hub for all your Give Pulse activities. Your

service hours, past and present volunteer opportunities, and

any groups you are a part of will show up on the Dashboard.

Profile—This is what other users see when viewing your page.

You can edit the information shown here under “Account.”

On the next page, we will take a look at the Dashboard and

Profile.

My Dashboard: Here you can see any Impacts (service hours) you have tracked, any opportunities you

have registered for, and any groups you have joined.

Right now, your Dashboard is set to Private and can only be viewed by you. If you choose to make your

profile Public, other users who click on your account will see your Profile (below). The Profile shows your

Dashboard information in a social media format.

If you want to make your profile public, go to your

Account tab and choose Settings. At Settings, uncheck

Private and make sure to save changes.

On GivePulse, “Impacts” is the term used for volunteer service hours since you are making an impact

on the community. Impacts will also be used to verify attendance at events.

My Activity

Next, we are going to review the “My Activity” drop down

menu. My Activity lets you look in detail at the groups

you’re a part of, the impacts you have submitted, and any

registered opportunities you have coming up.

The Group tab lets you view all groups you’re a part of. Here you can choose to leave any groups,

message the admin, and more.

The Impacts tab shows all volunteer opportunities you have submitted for verification. Here, you

will be able to view if hours are pending or have been verified.

HOW TO FIND VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

On GivePulse, there are a few ways to locate available opportunities;

Get Involved: by selecting “Get Involved” on the taskbar, you will be directed to volunteer opportunities

in the area. You can view by Events (volunteer opportunities) or by Groups (organizations).

You can also view opportunities

by scrolling down to Affiliates

and Events on the TCC GivePulse

page.

Opportunities found here are

posted by organizations familiar

with TCC students.

When you select a Group or Event, you will be taken to their public page (below). On the public page

(example below) you can see more information about that opportunity or group. You can register

from the page or message the admin if you have any questions.

6

If you select “Register” from the event

page, you will be taken to the next steps

to register for the event.

Choose a group and then agree to the

platform terms.

You do not need to select a group, but

it’s recommended you select Tulsa

Achieves if you are in the program. This

will let organizations know you are a

Tulsa Achieves student as soon as you

sign up.

After registering, you will receive an email notification confirming your registration with the event. You

can either wait for contact from the administrator or message them on GivePulse with any questions

about how to proceed.

Adding Impacts (Verifying service hours)

In GivePulse, you will see the term “Impacts”. As a way to track students’ civic engagement practices,

GivePulse can track more than volunteer or service learning hours. You can also use it to track

donations, club or organization meeting attendance, or participation in rallies, deliberative dialogues,

and community-based research projects, just to name a few examples!

As a TCC Tulsa Achieves student, the only Impact you are required to track is volunteer service.

This counter is shown on many of your GivePulse pages.

Impacts (volunteer service hours) count the amount of

times you have submitted an impact.

Hours will show the amount of VERIFIED hours on your

account. Hours will only show up after they have been

verified by an organization.

On the next page, we will go into submitting your Impacts (volunteer service hours) for verification.

7

There are a few ways you can submit Impacts (volunteer service hours) for

verification. The easiest way is to select “Add Impact” from the user

dropdown menu.

Below is an example of the Add Impact screen. You will search your

Group (organization) that you volunteered with, and select Add Impact.

*If your organization is not on GivePulse, you can click on “Can’t find it?” to add your impact (below).

You will need to know the name of the organization, the name of the contact person, and their email.

GivePulse is still new to the Tulsa community; there will be many organizations who have not

joined us yet. If you come across an organization who has not joined, please have them contact

volunteer@tulsacc.edu so they can be added to our GivePulse community.

8

If you were able to locate your organization on the

“Add Impact” screen, select the blue Add Impact

button.

When adding an Impact, you will be asked to name

the event (opportunity), dates and amount of hours,

provide a reflection/feedback, and be able to share

with any groups or courses you are a part of.

If you volunteered with a specific event

of the group, select it here. Otherwise,

you can leave it empty.

Select dates you volunteered. You may

select a specific date, or a range of

dates.

Enter the total number of service hours

in the dates listed.

After entering your hours, you will

have the opportunity to leave feedback

for the event.

This is not required, however, leaving a

reflection may be used in service-

learning courses.

You can also leave a personal note

here that can only be viewed by you, or

attach any videos/photos from the

event.

9

Sharing and Privacy Settings let you share the Impact (volunteer service hours) with a group or course you

are a part of.

Service-Learning students will have their

courses shown here along with groups.

If completing service hours for a course, make

sure you check the course box to receive

credit. If you do not check the course box, your

instructor will not be notified.

You can choose “Public” or “Private” sharing. If

you choose Private, it will still be shared with

your course page and the instructor.

Select “Add Impact” when complete.

After submitting your Impact (volunteer

service hours) , you will see this screen. The

top left shows that the verification is pending.

When verified, it will be green.

You will also receive an email confirmation

when your hours have been verified.

Don’t forget, you can review all pending or verified impacts on your account by going to “Impacts”

located on your My Activity drop down menu (page 4).

GivePulse also lets students pull a co-

curricular transcript of all their activities.

You can do this by opening the user drop

down menu, and selecting “Summary.”

You can message the TCC

Volunteer Coordinator, Auggie

Valadez, on GivePulse if you

have any questions by going to

the TCC page and selecting the

contact icon.

GivePulse gives you the ability to message other users. Any messages

you receive or send will be shown here on the messages page. To get

here, select the mail icon on your task bar.

Below is an example of the co-curricular transcript.

For any questions, please feel free to contact TCC’s Volunteer Coordinator at volunteer@tulsacc.edu.
