Attestation to Minimal Technical Standards
Prior to matriculation and prior to beginning fieldwork/capstone experiences, students must sign an attestation form as they meet minimum technical standards, submit immunization records, tuberculosis screening, background check and urine drug screening status relative to the requirements listed below. Matriculating students receive information related to the requirements (forms, avenues to submit forms, deadlines, etc.) with the matriculation packet and enrolled students receive these forms prior to beginning fieldwork/capstone experiences. Matriculation packets are sent to the University-issued student email accounts. Fieldwork and capstone affiliates may have additional requirements. Students are responsible for all costs associated with obtaining the Program's requirements and any additional requirements of fieldwork and capstone affiliates.
Students must submit their forms to the Exxat Approve Module by the Program's submission due dates. Matriculating students are notified of submission due dates via University-issued student email accounts. Enrolled students are notified via University-issued student email accounts of submission due dates for confirmed fieldwork and capstone experiences as soon as they are known. Failure to submit complete and signed documents by the Program's due dates may result in a delay of matriculation and will result in a delay of the start of fieldwork or capstone experiences.
Note: Though proof of Hepatitis B immunity is not required until the start of rotations, if you have completed the Hepatitis B vaccination series, it is advisable to provide proof of immunity prior to matriculation.
Students with a religious exemption or medical contraindication may seek exemption from the above requirements by contacting the Program Director. The Program's fieldwork and capstone affiliates may not allow for exemptions to the above requirements and may have additional requirements.
