Field Work:
Many of the academic programs in the College of Human Science and Services require a supervised field work experience as part of the degree requirements. This experience is designed to provide students with the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a career-related setting. Placements are made in a wide variety of agencies such as public schools, health care facilities, day care centers, and other human service settings.

Satisfactory completion of a required field experience depends on achievement of basic competencies established by the academic department in cooperation with the agency. The University supervisor is responsible for determining whether or not the student has attained the required competencies and, in some cases, may extend the time required for the experience until the student's performance is satisfactory.

Graduation:
It is the responsibility of the student to file an Intent to Graduate form and a curriculum work sheet approved by the advisor in the Dean's Office. The deadline is September 15 for May graduation, April 5 for August graduation, and May 5 for December graduation.

FINAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEGREE COMPLETION:

The final responsibility for meeting all course and credit degree requirements rests with the individual student. The Undergraduate Bulletin contains everything a student needs to check his or her degree requirements. All questions should be directed to the Office of the Dean.
