All candidates who intend to complete clinical practice must obtain written clearance from their Education Program advisors and their liberal arts major advisors before being permitted to participate. Advisors’ approvals indicate that clinical interns have completed all courses and incomplete grades by the end of the semester directly preceding clinical practice.

Completion of all course requirements in all education programs, liberal arts majors and general education liberal arts core must occur before the full-time clinical practice semester.
