Current coursework graduate students

Students will work closely with the Experiential Learning and Communications Specialist to find a practicum that will provide them with the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills and to connect with future employers. Once the practicum has been secured, students will work with the practicum supervisor to complete a learning contract.

The practicum is a mandatory component of all professional graduate programs and can be taken after all core coursework is complete.

Students must maintain the status indicated in their application for at least the first term (Fall term). Following the first term, a student may request to change their status from full-time to part-time (or vice versa).

You can find course descriptions on the Graduate Studies Academic Calendar. You can also find further details, including syllabi on the Centre for Extended Learning website. If you need assistance filling out the Find a Course form, please use the following information:
