Field Experience

Each site/school may have slightly different requirements for classroom observers/volunteers regarding proof of immunizations, TB clearance, and background checks. It is important to discuss this with the site/school early in the placement process. Specifically, students should ensure that they: 

  • Understand the site's/school's rules for what an observer/volunteer is required to provide regarding proof of immunization,  TB clearance, and background checks
  • Have records to prove immunization to the diseases the site/school requires
  • Have proof of immunization and TB clearance records that show the correct type(s) of immunization for each disease required
  • Have up-to-date TB clearance (some sites/schools require clearance within the past year, others require clearance within the past 6 months)
  • Have the required background check

Student Allergies Students must alert the college regarding any food allergies. It is recommended that the student utilize the Americans with Disabilities Act portion of the Academic Advising services. Depending on the severity, Kendall may not be able to accommodate the student for all coursework that interferes with the allergy.
