Practicum in Higher Education Administration
Obtaining a Practicum Site
Student Responsibilities and Deadlines
Students are responsible for identifying a site and site mentor at least 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the practicum. Once an agreement is reached the site mentor should be provided with paperwork, which is then submitted to the practicum coordinator.
Approval of a Practicum Site
The practicum coordinator must give final approval of the site and site mentor. Approval of a practicum site is provided in writing by the practicum coordinator, once the appropriate paperwork has been submitted.
Current Employment as a practicum placement
A student may not use his/her current position to fulfill the practicum requirement. However, a student may engage in a practicum placement in the same office/organization where he/she is employed as long as the practicum duties are different from employment obligations. For example, a student who is an assistant hall director may choose to work in residential life in the area of budgeting, which would be an appropriate practicum setting.
