The key point:核心信息： Irvine Unified School District does not require community service for graduation. However, students who complete 25 approved hours in a school year may receive the transcript comment “Community Service Served.” Summer hours may be counted toward the following school year.尔湾统一学区（IUSD）不把社区服务作为毕业硬性要求。不过，学生每学年完成 25 小时获认可的服务后，可在成绩单上获得“Community Service Served（已完成社区服务）”的备注。暑假完成的时长可计入紧接着的新学年。
Submit a form every year.每学年都要提交表格。 Hours are not recognized automatically. Use your school’s current form and follow its deadline and verification instructions.服务时长不会自动获得表彰。请使用本校最新表格，并遵守学校的截止日期与证明要求。
School-Specific Rule部分学校的特别规则
University High School and Irvine High School currently state that the 25 hours must be completed through no more than three separate agencies. The goal is to encourage a deeper commitment to a smaller number of organizations. Requirements and forms can change, so confirm the current rule with your school before beginning service.University High School 与 Irvine High School 目前规定，25 小时服务必须在不超过三个机构完成，以鼓励学生对少数机构进行更深入、持续的投入。要求和表格可能更新，因此开始服务前请向学校确认最新规则。
