Internship and Clinical Placement Policy
- One or more clinical or internship components are required of most degree programs in CHBS. The majority of clinical and internship components are mandated by licensure boards and accrediting organizations.
- Clinical and internship facilities have a variety of requirements that must be met by students, including vaccinations.
- Vaccination status of students is not considered when making clinical or internship assignments. (UCA does not require a student to be vaccinated for COVID-19 or to produce any documentation regarding vaccination for COVID-19.)
- Exemptions to vaccination requirements must be requested by the student through the clinical or internship facility.
- Failure to comply with the requirements of the clinical or internship assignment may result in an indefinite delay of degree completion.
