Students Who Are Absent From The Service Learning Placement Course

2. The student must meet with their assigned faculty member after missing two days during WORK 10625.
3. An absence of up to 2 days (WORK 10625) may result in an Incomplete Profile being assigned.

In extenuating circumstances, the faculty member may consider an exception/revision to the above attendance requirement, based upon provided documentation and the student’s achievement of the placement objectives thus far.

Students are expected to be present at the clinical site as scheduled by the Clinical Liaison. Students will be allowed a maximum 2 sick days throughout clinical training. Any days exceeding this maximum must be made up prior to the completion of the program, based on availability and at the convenient of the clinical site. DO NOT assume the current clinical rotation can simply be lengthened to accommodate “make up time”. Each circumstance will be dealt with on an individual basis. The site clinical supervisor as well as the Mohawk College Clinical Liaison must be notified by the student of any absence during the clinical placement. Absenteeism may jeopardize the student’s ability to meet the clinical objectives which may result in the student receiving an Incomplete (I) or Failure (FL) grade.

In bereavement circumstances, 3 or more days of absence are provided at the discretion of the Clinical Liaison on the death of one’s spouse, parent, step-parent, child, step-child, brother, sister, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, grandparent or grandchild.
