CLINICAL INTERNSHIP AND EXTERNSHIP TRAINING Students are expected to begin the clinical internship or program externship component of their program as scheduled and must follow the schedule outlined on the Enrollment Agreement. Hours must be completed before the student's maximum program completion time. Clinical and Externship Sites are assigned, on the behalf of the student, by the Clinical Coordinator. All clinical sites must be approved by the Career Services Coordinator and the site must meet all school requirements prior to the student's first day on site, Should the student be terminated or leave voluntarily from a site, the school may assign one additional site at which the student must complete the remaining hours, or the student may be required to repeat some or all clinical internship or externship hours as deemed appropriate by institution, based on the clinical internship or externship evaluation. If the student fails to complete externship or clinical internship experience or is terminated at the second site,the student may be terminated.

Students may only attend an approved site and must complete all necessary documents prior to the start of any externship and/or clinicaltraining.
