Dates

Student teachers should not make plans to travel up to one week following a Field Experience/Internship as any days missed due to excused absences must be made up. See Policies: Absence from Field Experience. Additionally, attendance at co-requisite courses is often mandatory and these courses may start or end after the Field Experience/Internship. Students with unexcused absences may be removed from the field. 
Course registration opening dates and deadlines may follow a specific calendar to be communicated to students by email, and, unless otherwise noted, withdrawal deadlines are: add/drop - 2 weeks before placement; withdrawal with refund - first day of placement; withdrawal without refund - fourth day of placement.

Course Codes and Schedules

2019-2020 Academic Year

Policy reminder regarding scheduling/time commitment: Student Teachers are strongly advised not to engage in activities (e.g. employment, courses) which could interfere with the time and energy required to prepare lessons and effectively teach during their placements.Course conflicts with a field placement will not be grounds for an excused absence from the field. Student Teachers are also advised not to make plans to leave the city for 1 week (minimum) immediately after your placement - you may be required to make up days lost to illness or school closure.
