Field
Placement Practicum
The Field Placement Practicum (CRCJ 3901) is offered at the 3000-level to students
in CCJ programs. Students complete a 1.0 (or 2.0) credit Field Placement Practicum
course during the fall/winter session. To be eligible for the Practicum students
must have completed at least 9.0 credits, including all of the 1000- and 2000-level
requirements in the Major CGPA. Enrolment is restricted. A floating cutoff
will be used to identify the students with the highest Major CGPA over those
required courses, who may then receive permission to register for the Field
Placement. Allocation of Field Placements will be determined by the Field Placement
Coordinator.
Students wishing to register for a Field Placement Practicum must apply to
the Institute no later than May 1 of their second year. If granted permission,
students will then register in CRCJ 3901 [1.0] during August registration.
Students in the B.A. Honours program may receive permission to complete a 2.0
credit placement, in which case they will also register in CRCJ 3902 [1.0].
