exam but is rather a senior comprehensive portfolio project that requires students to reflect on, assess and document their own academic progress and learning. Specific requirements and due dates are distributed to seniors in the semester preceding their expected graduation. In order to prepare the portfolio self-assessment, students should keep copies of written course work, graded papers and exams from all psychology, sociology, biology, ethics and exercise science courses they have taken. While requirements for the portfolio vary slightly from year to year, students are generally required to assess several academic products in completing a short narrative of their academic experience as well as complete an evidence-based research paper. Students must submit the portfolio by the due date and must receive a grade of C or higher in order to graduate. Portfolios submitted after the due date will not be considered for graduation in that semester.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Internship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BLS\/CPR certification is required for the health care provider.<\/p>\n<p>Internship placement sites may have additional health or safety requirements that students must meet prior to receiving access to the internship site.<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: No student will be allowed to participate in internship experiences unless and until these other requirements have been satisfied.<\/p>\n<p>Transportation: Students are required to provide their own transportation to and from internship placement sites.
