5.5 Registering for Additional Field Units

Students in enriched training programs that offer onsite seminars or enhanced supervision with readings and assignments, and where they serve an extra half-day or day of service per week, may request approval to enroll in 1 to 2 units of SOC WEL 401-Field Practicum per semester. The assigned field faculty member in consultation with the Chair of Field Education will decide if the training program meets the definition of “enriched” and may ask to review seminar syllabi, readings, or assignments. These activities should be clearly enumerated in the student learning agreement. Units earned in SOC WEL 401 count toward the minimum of 12 units needed to register each semester but do not count as academic units. The student’s field faculty member usually serves as the instructor of record for these additional enrichment units.
