Once the student begins the practicum experience they are required to submit periodic reports to designated entities. Departmental requirements must be addressed and frequency of the report submission is set by the Department Practicum Coordinator. Late submissions of these required reports will impact a student’s ability to obtain academic credit for the practicum experience, deadlines must be met. The student should continue to review their work plan throughout the practicum experience to ensure that competencies, objectives, and deliverables are being met. Should a student encounter any issues during the practicum experience they should contact their Department Practicum Coordinator. Soon after the completion of the practicum experience, the student is required to complete several additional steps to receive academic credit. First, a final report must be submitted to the Department Practicum Coordinator. In addition, copies of deliverables related to practicum experience objectives and activities must be provided. Some departments require additional documentation at the conclusion of the practicum experience; the student should review department addendums for specific requirements. Department Practicum Coordinators will work to acquire a complete student evaluation form from the student’s Practicum Preceptor. The student is required to give a formal presentation on his/her practicum experience. Departments vary in arrangements for practicum experience presentations; Department Practicum Coordinators and Department Administrators will work with the student to meet this requirement. In some cases, the student presents at his/her site, though ultimately it is at the Department Practicum Coordinator’s discretion along with the Department Head to determine if a presentation done on site or in another formal professional venue can be used for the practicum experience presentation requirement. Prior to a grade being released all required documentation must be posted to the student’s ePortfolio. Failure to post required materials by stated deadlines can impact ability of a student to register for further course work or graduate. -
