The college does not assume any responsibility for compliance with these requirements other than informing the student of the requirements. The student must fully comply with all requirements of the specific facility before participating in any activities at that facility. Failure to be eligible to participate in activities at an assigned facility may result in the student not being allowed to complete that clinical externship and may result in disciplinary action, up to, and including, dismissal from the program. Time keeping: Time keeping during clinical externship is completed through the clinical reporting system, Trajecsys. The student will be given instructions on the use of the system during the clinical introduction course, prior to the first day in the clinical externship site. Any student believed to be tampering with or manipulating the clock-in, clock-out, or documentation process will be sent to the CSP and may be subject to disciplinary action for unethical and unprofessional behavior including, but not limited to, dismissal from the program and receiving a failing grade for the clinical course (even without any prior failure on record). Students are responsible for reading and understanding the terms included in the syllabus as well as in the clinical manual, including all information related to clinical competencies and the minimum number of procedures and types of procedures required for graduation.

Absences or tardiness from the clinical externship site should be communicated verbally or in writing (including email) directly to the program clinical coordinator and the clinical instructor in the clinical site, preferably before the start of the shift assigned, but no later than 24 hours. Text messages, postings to the course, or other nonverbal communications are not acceptable. In addition, a Student Absentee Report must be completed within the Trajecsys online clinical management system within 24 hours of an absence. All missed hours must be made up unless otherwise approved by the clinical coordinator and/or the program director.
