All students are required to complete a timesheet while undertaking their pro bono opportunity. The timesheet template can be downloaded from the Centre’s website under Resources - NUS Law Centre for Pro Bono C Clinical Education (CPBCLE).

The completed timesheet must have details of the hours worked and the nature of the tasks performed, and it must be signed by the supervisor overseeing the pro bono opportunity.

Timesheets must be endorsed by either a wet-signature on a printed timesheet, electronic signature on a digital timesheet, or email approval of the specified hours by the opportunity supervisor/officer-in-charge.

All completed pro bono hours must be submitted through TalentConnect for assessment; email submissions will not be accepted. To record your hours on TalentConnect, the following steps must be completed:

1. Search for the pro bono opportunity under the ‘Jobs/Internships’ tab.
2. Apply for the opportunity
3. Await the offer to be extended.

Each entry you input should correspond exactly with the hours recorded on your timesheet. Do not record hours in lump sums or consolidate multiple entries.

The Centre will review your submitted hours and timesheet before granting approval for the recorded pro bono hours.

The Centre requires each timesheet to be properly endorsed with the name of the supervisor clearly stated and the signature included.

No, the pro bono hours must have been completed and endorsed by the supervisor/officer-in- charge when you submit the records in TalentConnect.

The TalentConnect platform allows uploads of multiple timesheets for each student under their allocated pro bono opportunities. The placement form is submitted once for each opportunity by a student after which, students may upload as many timesheets as needed to record all of their hours under the opportunity.

While there is no official “transcript” issued to students for pro bono hours, CPBCLE can provide a summary document of all approved pro bono hours upon request. Should you wish to obtain a copy prior to graduation, submit an email request to CPBCLE at: probonohours@nus.edu.sg.
