Students failing to comply with the above deadlines will not be placed for practicum that semester.

The next step in the placement process is the responsibility of the Practicum supervisor. The supervisor will contact your first choice Practicum site to determine its educational potential and receptiveness in working with you as an exercise specialist. At this time, the supervisor will notify you by phone or mail regarding your application approval.

Once you have been contacted by the Practicum supervisor that your choice site is appropriate, YOU MUST MAKE IMMEDIATE CONTACT with that site. Call the person who you listed on Form I as the "contact person" or as directed and arrange an on-site interview AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

The interview is a process of information exchange as follows:

A. Information provided by the student:

1. Copy of Form II as a resume
2. Copy of Practicum Handbook for the site supervisor (highlight evaluation forms)
3. A written statement of your goals and what you expect to accomplish from this practical experience

6. Available equipment, facilities and general plant
7. Procedures for reporting personal absences
