Specific Guidelines for Off-Campus Clinical Nursing Experiences
If the Campus is officially closed all clinical experiences are cancelled.
If the Campus opens on a delayed schedule, clinical faculty will make the decision to either proceed with clinical experiences or cancel them.
Depending on when decisions to close the Campus are announced, designated clinical faculty will serve as the point of first contact concerning the application of these specific guidelines to clinical experiences either to cancel the experiences or to proceed with clinical experiences should students have arrived in the clinical setting before official announcements are made.
Students who arrive at their clinical assignments before an official announcement to close Campus or delay opening has been made should participate in their assignments only if the assigned faculty member is present.
Clinical cancellation/delay will result in the need to make up required clinical hours.
The Clinical Practice Manager will communicate this information in a timely manner to clinical facilities and clinical faculty.
