Make up policy and procedures- practicum
Integrated students (1st, 2nd, 3rd semesters) are required to
complete a practicum assignment. They are required twice a semester
to turn in their work at their course survey/review sessions- once
approximately 6-7 weeks into the semester (midterm) and again in
week 14-15 (final). Practicum is then reviewed and graded within
2-3 weeks, and students are notified via their AMDA email of their
grade status. Grades are also posted in the AMDA portal.
Practicum must be typed or photocopied and turned in at the
course review sessions, or via email to [email protected]. It is
the students responsibility to make sure their name, class section
and number are written on every page of the document, and that the
document is stapled together. If the practicum is being sent via
email, it must be in a separate Word, Pages, or PDF document
template ; it may not be sent in the body of an email. The student
must ensure that their name is in the title of the electronic
document, as well as on every page.
If a student fails to meet the requirement of practicum and/or
turn it in on time, the individual will receive an incomplete grade
for practicum. An incomplete grade will turn into a failing grade
if proper steps are not taken to make up the missed work.
A make up assignment is given if: the student fails to turn in
the work completed at the midterm, or from the midterm to the
final; if the practicum is illegible; if the practicum turned in at
the midterm or final does not meet the minimum requirements.
The student will be notified via email to inform them of an
incomplete grade. The make-up assignment must be completed
according to instructions, by the due date specified, and it must
be sent to the practicum instructor via email.
There is only ONE incomplete make-up allowed for three
semesters. Once a student has completed and passed the make-up,
their grade will be modified to PASS. The student will not be
offered another make-up assignment free of charge.
If the make-up assignment is not turned in on time or completed
according to the instructions, the incomplete grade will become a
failing grade. A student may also fail if they do not turn in 14
weeks of a completed practicum.
Each semester has a different failing grade make-up assignment.
In order to complete this assignment and pass practicum, a student
must pay an additional fee of $500.
If a student fails to make up the failing grade assignment, they
are officially failing practicum. Failure to pass practicum means a
failure to graduate. They must meet with education to discuss steps
to rectify the grade.
