ACADEMIC AND FIELD WORK PERFORMANCE STANDING COMMITTEE
Section 500:  Master's Program

500.8 Consultations - General

When a student's performance is viewed by the Consultation Committee as a predictor of potential problems in the field, Consultation may result in a decision to have the student's work monitored over the course of the field experience. Such monitoring allows for a smooth and careful transition for the student from academic work to the field. When the Consultation Committee determines that a student's academic performance necessitates monitoring, the Director of Field Work will put this information in writing to the student. A copy of the letter will be shared with the agency to ensure that the student's clinical learning can be carefully planned. The Faculty Field Advisor assigned to the student's agency will be sent a copy of the letter.

The student will be notified in writing with regard to whether or not his or her work will require ongoing monitoring by the Committee. Since monitoring implies the potential for problems in the field, the student's performance in the field will fall under the procedures governing Review of a Student's Field Work Performance. Appearance before the Committee by the student, Faculty Field Advisor, or supervisor during the monitoring period is necessary ONLY if any of these parties request it. Written statements detailing the student's performance as satisfactory will not warrant the presence of the Faculty Field Advisor, supervisor, or student.
