Summary: Satisfactory attendance and communication around absences is a technical standard of any student in field education and is a standard for professional behavior. If a student is unable to attend field education as scheduled (e.g. religious holidays, illness, injury, family emergency, etc.), the student must notify the field instructor in a timely and professional manner.

Satisfactory attendance and communication around absences is a technical standard of any student in field education and is a standard for professional behavior. If a student is unable to attend field education as scheduled (e.g. religious holidays, illness, injury, family emergency, etc.), the student must notify the field instructor in a timely and professional manner. This would also include collaboration with the field instructor to make-up the hours missed due to the absence. Please be aware that timely professional communication is an expected standard. A “no call, no show” absence is professionally unacceptable and may result in the student's dismissal from the field site. The details of making up field education hours is up to the field instructor and student. The ultimate requirement is that the student completes the required number of hours that matches their field course enrollment for each semester the student is in field education.
