Clinical Absence and Practicum Policy
Students are required to successfully complete a minimum number of clinical hours in each clinical practicum course as listed in the course syllabus. Clinical practicums are defined as: practicum/clinical/simulation/Inter-Professional Education/laboratory experiences as they strive to meet course objectives/outcomes. Failure to complete all regularly scheduled or substituted clinical practicums places the student at risk for not meeting course objectives. Students absent from clinical practicums may receive a failing grade if the absence is not appropriately communicated and/or the amount of missed clinical hours exceeds the amount of time that clinical faculty can accommodate for make-up. Students may be allowed to withdraw according to IUSON Policy AFS-23 if clinical hours cannot be made up or take an incomplete according to University policy as dictated by the timing and circumstances surrounding the absences.
