Field Practice: Students are required to complete SWK 480: Field Practice I and SWK 481: Field
Practice II sequentially in residence at the Adrian Campus. Transferred field practice credits
cannot be substituted for these two courses due to CSWE accreditation requirement. Students
are required to complete 225 supervised hours each session for a total of 450 hours. Students
are also required to purchase Student Liability Insurance and become members of the National
Associate on Social Workers. See the Social Work Program Student Handbook for further
information.
Personal Safety Training: All students will be required to complete Personal Safety Training prior
to enrolling in SWK 480. All students enrolled in SWK 335 will be required to complete the
training.
Prior Learning Credit and Transfer Credit: No social work academic credit will be awarded for
prior learning experiences. No credits for required social work courses will be accepted from
non-accredited social work programs, (with the possible exception of a social work program in
candidacy for CSWE accreditation).
Grades: No grade below “C” will be allowed in any social work course and/or required cognates
for the major. In such case, the course must be retaken and result in a grade of “C” or better.
Courses required for the major may be repeated only once.
Legal Status of Candidates for the Social Work degree:
Candidates for the social work program need to be aware that conviction for a felony crime may
be grounds for denial of entry into the social work program and for denial of a social work
certificate or license. The social work program requires a criminal background check of all
applicants to the program. See the Social Work Student Handbook for more information.
