ADMISSION AND RETENTION REQUIREMENTS

All students must meet the requirements for admission to the college. Additionally, students must submit a written application to the Program Director for admission to the Human Services Program. This process is normally completed as part of the Introduction to Human Services course.

Students who do not take this course at CCSJ should schedule an appointment for an Application Interview with the program director during their first semester of study at the college. As part of the application process, students will have an opportunity to complete a Plan for Persistence toward degree completion.

The Human Services Program retains the right to recommend that students withdraw from the Human Services Program if they fail to demonstrate consistent progress toward the attainment of program objectives. In order to continue in the program, students must earn a letter grade of a C for all major courses and maintain a 2.0 GPA. Students who fall below this standard must follow the normal procedures for repetition of coursework. Students may not have violated any of the commonly accepted ethical or moral standards of Human Services professions. Students will receive written guidelines of all Program Requirements as part of the Introduction to Human Services course or in the course of their Application Interview.

Students seeking admission to and retention in the Human Services Program are evaluated annually in the one credit hour Assessment Seminar. Students are required to register for the seminar once each year until the academic year in which he/she completes the Practicum. The Assessment Seminar for the Practicum year is integrated into the Practicum course.

It is expected that Human Services students will demonstrate consistent progress toward the completion of the degree. The Human Services faculty is committed to making every effort to assist students in the attainment of this goal. A key component of this commitment is the annual Portfolio Review and Assessment Interview done as part of the Assessment Seminar.
