Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Community Survey Fall 2024 results available?

Yes!  You can find a PowerPoint in the Events chapter with a summary of the results.

Do students need to attend placement during Professional Activity Days?

Students are required to attend Field Placement on professional activity days. If students are not permitted to attend professional activity days they are required to make up this time and inform their Field Placement Specialist.

Before and After School Programs: Students are required to attend for a full day if the site offers a PA Day Program (which is typically 8 hours including lunch) or they can attend an alternative site if approved by their Field Placement Mentor and Field Placement Specialist.

How long should a student’s lunch be?

Students are to take the same length of lunch as staff.  Students cannot shorten their lunch in order to leave earlier.

Do students need to make up time due to inclement weather closures?

If the College is officially closed due to poor weather conditions, students are not required to make up Field Placement hours.  Alternatively, if the Field Placement site closes and the College does not, the students are not required to make up the time.  The total number of days a student can miss placement without having to make up time due to the inclement weather closures is 3 days. If closures due to inclement weather exceed 3 days within the same field placement, students will be required to make up the missed time.
