Schedule for Full-time Fieldwork Courses
34.2.1. Minimum Requirements (Schedule) For Full-Time Level II Fieldwork
A minimum of 24 weeks of occupational therapy fieldwork, which are typically completed in two 12-week full-time placements, is required for graduation from the program. Full-time fieldwork for a majority of Level II Fieldworks entails students being on-site for a minimum of 40 hours per week for 12 weeks duration. Therefore, Level II Fieldwork involves a schedule that is commensurate to full-time work.
34.2.2. Part-Time Level II Fieldwork Policy
For fieldwork settings with part-time schedules that involve less than 40 hours per week, the Program recommends extending the duration of the placement in order to meet the equivalent of 480 total hours. For examples of how to calculate the required number of weeks, refer to the following table:
