Northwood University encourages students to become involved in clubs and organizations, and to actively participate in activities that develop team building and interpersonal skills. To receive EXCEL credit or hours towards an EXCEL credit, approved activities and organizations must meet the following criteria:

1. Members must be in a recognized and approved university organization, varsity athletic team, professional organization, or community-based organization.
2. Northwood organizations must have an advisor from the faculty or staff.
3. Students must maintain membership for a minimum of one term. (NOTE: This is not intended to suggest that an individual will receive EXCEL credit if they join an organization and then drop out of the organization during the course of the year).
4. Students must participate in at least 75% of the scheduled meetings and activities of the organization, as determined by the organization's president and advisor.
5. Credit for membership in an organization or participation in an activity will be given at the end of the academic year only, and must be approved by the president and the advisor of the organization.
6. Participation should facilitate the development of the whole person through team building and interpersonal skill development.
