WITHDRAWAL PROCESS FOR CLINICAL EXPERIENCE, CLINICAL PRACTICE AND RESIDENCY The following procedures apply and govern the Clinical Experience, Clinical Practice and Residency Field Experience withdrawal process. The student who is registered for Field Experience and is required to leave that experience by request of the school district or the university; will be considered for a grade of “F” or "WD" based on circumstances. The circumstances which initiated the request will be reviewed by the Office of Field Experience, the College of Education department in which the student is enrolled and the Dean. Students are subject to all academic and financial regulations that govern grading and refunds. If the Office of Field Experience requires the student to re-register for Field Experience in a subsequent semester, registration and payment are required. A student who voluntarily contacts the Office of Field Experience and/or the Chair of student's College of Education department to request a withdrawal from that experience during the semester in which it is taken is subject to all academic/financial regulations that govern. Extenuating circumstances such as medical may be considered by the Office of Field Experience, the department and the Dean upon receipt of request. The request for withdrawal is then forwarded to the Office of the Registrar to be processed. A circumstantial letter of consideration may accompany the request for withdrawal. A student who is registered for Field Experience in a semester and requires additional time to satisfy those requirements may be issued an "Inc" provided the time required to satisfy requirements does not extend beyond 30 days into the next semester in accordance with University policy. If more than 30 days are required, the student should be referred to the Director of Field Experience for resolution (grading is required). Comments: It is essential that students who are required to or voluntarily withdraw from Field Experience have the grading matter resolved within the semester that they are registered. · To permit a student to return to Clinical Practice in a subsequent semester without officially having re-registered for that experience creates an academic, financial, safety, health and liability issue for the student and the University. Therefore, to afford the student and the University the appropriate legal protection, a record of registration must be on file and available upon request. Office of the Registrar
