Field Experience courses (Education 440, 465, 540, 560) are fundamental to the BEd program and must be successfully completed in sequence before a student can progress to the next term. If a student is unsuccessful, receiving a failing grade (non-credit) OR a withdrawal (W), in a Field Experience course they will require permission from the Director, Field Experience to attempt the course a second time. Should the student be unsuccessful in their second attempt at the course they will be required to withdraw from the BEd program.
Field Experiences take priority over any other professional or personal commitments. The only acceptable reasons for missing Field Experience are illness, family emergency, religious observance, approved professional development or approved University activity. The number of days of absence allowed varies by Field Experience course and will be detailed in the course outline as provided by the instructor at the beginning of the course. Additional days of absence will not be allowed except with the express permission of the Director, Field Experience.
