Supervised Field Experience

The Community College of Aurora recognizes the need for supervised field (off-campus) experience in various programs. Supervised field experience may be titled "work experience," "practicum" or "internship." These field experiences are designed to provide on-the-job training for students with the goal of increased employability upon completion of their education. In a supervised field experience, the community, its resources, and employees become an extension of the college. All supervised field experience courses include: (1) course descriptions; (2) an instructor with credentials in the program area to supervise the off-campus instruction; (3) course activities designed by the instructor; (4) attendance at a minimum of one class session per week with the assigned instructor; (5) a plan developed by the student and instructor, including all assignments required for completion of the course; (6) grading following the established grading policy of the College; and (7) instructor scheduling of the supervised field experience hours, requiring the same types of assignments and preparation as for on-campus courses.
