Practicum Requirements

In courses that include practicum/clinical experiences at partner agencies, the student must complete on-boarding site specific requirements and compliance requirements. If these requirements are not met by the specified due dates communicated by OSCAS and the Practicum Placement Office, the result a 1-step grade reduction (for example: B to a B-) in the final course grade for that course. The Program Director will notify specific course faculty to implement the grade reduction. Note: Once all requirements are satisfied (even after the due date) the student may attend the practicum/clinical experience. However, the  reduction in the final course grade will remain. Each course may have additional consequences for missed clinical/practicum days as described in the specific course syllabi.
