Background

The Student Fieldwork Handbook web site was launched in September 2002. Previously, the booklet version of the Handbook was updated annually and distributed to students at the beginning of each Fall Term. We hope that the information contained in the site will provide answers to the many questions students have about the university, department and faculty regulations, policies and procedures.

Information contained in this web site is not intended to replace the Calendar or any other publication. Wherever possible, linkages to applicable web sites are included and students are encouraged to access those sites.
