I am a 3-year program student and work full-time and need flexible hours. Can I do my placement on evenings and/or weekends?

Students are responsible for observing regular agency working hours as arranged by the Field Instructor. Students are responsible for maintaining a record of field hours in IPT. At the end of each semester the student and field instructor sign the time log. Students might be required to complete an agency time sheet but this does not replace the time log completed in IPT.

Students are expected to arrive to field placement on time (i.e., before the start of their shift) and not leave until their entire shift is completed. Field is to be approached like a “real job” and you are accountable as such. Attendance and punctuality reflect well (or poorly) on a professional and remember that you may one day need a letter of recommendation from your field instructor and/or preceptor when you apply for an internship/job at another agency. Any time missed from field placement must be made up, as well as any supervision and assignments, within a reasonable time, which should be ASAP. Please refer to Student Handbook regarding our Policy on Course Absences.
