Reporting and Recording Absence from PEP

The Master of Speech Pathology program has a 100% attendance expectation for practice education placements. Placement providers are not required to provide additional days and, in many circumstances, may be unable to offer additional placement days. This means that missed days may compromise your successful completion of the unit.

Any absence, whether planned or unexpected, must be recorded. In the event of illness or circumstances resulting in absence, you must:

• notify your practice educator;
• notify the Practice Education Coordinator; and
• obtain documented evidence regarding the absence (e.g., Medical Certificate/s, Statutory Declaration explanation). Instructions for submitting evidence of absence will be provided to you.
