1. Practicum must be completed in one of our partner school boards.

consideration in the first round of board assignments. In such cases, deadlines for submission of appropriate
documentation must be met to be eligible.
3. All practicum weeks scheduled in an academic year will be completed in the same school board; however, the
Practicum Office reserves the right to make board changes if necessary.
4. The Practicum Office is unable to approve placement requests based on individual circumstances. For example,
individuals working part-time jobs, homeowners, individuals without a vehicle/driver's license, etc. To this end,
individuals may not request a particular school, teacher, grade, or subject.
5. Individuals may be placed anywhere within the geographic boundaries of their assigned school board and are
responsible for making their own living and travel arrangements. A long commute (an hour or more) should be
expected. In some cases, individuals will be required to travel to a placement that is not accessible by public
transportation.
6. The BEd program is expensive. Changes to the practicum will not be made based on financial need.
7. Individuals must not negotiate their own placements with school boards, principals, or teachers. Doing so could
jeopardize their practicum status.

and Services as early as possible and prior to commencing the practicum. Failure to do so could result in a delay of
accommodation.

health and safety training, COVID-19 Vaccination Disclosure).
