School of Education Student Athlete

Student athletes are not permitted to miss scheduled class time or field due to practices and/or scrimmages.

All full or half day absences from the clinical experience must be made up before the end of the current semester. This must meet the approval of the Cooperating Teacher (CT), school principal and university supervisor.

Student athletes must provide the Clinical Practice and Seminar professor with their game schedule. The University supervisor/seminar professor and the student athlete will review the schedule for away and home games that may conflict with field and seminar class. Make up possibilities will be discussed between the University supervisor and the student. Final decisions regarding a candidate’s ability to remain in the field course/experience will be at the discretion of the Associate Dean.

Student athletes are not permitted to leave their clinical experience for home games without the approval of their college supervisor/seminar professor. Education student athletes are placed in field assignments close to the University. The proximity of the clinical experience to the University will dictate the field placement departure time.

No clinical experience is to be made-up at the expense of scheduled course time, as is policy for all School of Education students.

Student athletes must notify their Cooperating Teacher and University supervisor/seminar professor in advance of away games. Notification the day of an away game is unprofessional. The Associate Dean can remove an athlete from a course/experience if the school experience is compromised because of scheduling.
