Rules

1. To undertake field/clinical placements students are required to have current criminal history and screening checks as published by the Clinical Placement Unit (unisa.edu.au/CPU). These checks will list disclosable court outcomes that may prevent field / clinical placement involvement and subsequently may prevent completion of the program.

2. Students will be required to satisfy the standard of dress, behaviour and fitness prescribed by institutions in which the professional or clinical placements are undertaken. Failure to satisfy such requirements may prevent them satisfying the requirements for the completion of the program.

3. Students are required to have a current 'Provide First Aid' Certificate (or equivalent) prior to the commencement of their first placement. Students will need to cover costs associated with this certification.

4. Students will be required to undertake Child Safe Environments training before commencing their first placement. Students will need to cover costs associated with this training.

5. The program requires participation in practical classes where manual skills are practiced. Essential learning activities in some classes may require that students partially remove their clothing to a level that is appropriate to the learning activity.

If a student is unable to meet these requirements they may be at risk of being unable to successfully complete course objectives and assessments and progress through the program.

7. Students will be required to undergo pre-exercise screening prior to commencing the degree to ensure safe readiness to participate in physical activity or exercise related learning activities.

Students who do not maintain continuous enrolment in this program after commencing work integrated learning placements, or are returning from a period of absence of more than 12 months will be required to undertake a competency assessment and/or recency training at an upfront cost, in addition to the program tuition fees. This is to ensure students have maintained competency in the required skills to protect the safety of the public during work integrated learning arrangements.
