FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What if I have more than 6 units deficiency?
You may only enroll maximum of 3 units plus the 6-unit practicum.
 If the deficiency is a prerequisite to the practicum, the
student must sign a waiver that essentially states that if
he/she fails the prerequisite course, the practicum shall be
deemed invalidated. In any case, please consult your
department chair (format of the waiver is available at the
dean’s office).
 If the deficiency is not a prerequisite,there is no need for
the said waiver
The other 3-unit deficiency may be enrolled as an overload either
in the 1st semester or 2nd semester, depending on when the said
deficiency is offered.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Must I be informed of the date and time of my
practicum adviser’s visit?
You must always expect that the practicum adviser
will visit anytime after you have submitted your
complete documents. At best, the practicum
adviser will inform you of a period within which
you will be visited (i.e., within the week of July
6-10,etc.).In case you will be absent on the date
of his/her visit, please inform your adviser ahead
and request him/her to inform you of his/her visit
after he/she has done so.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What if I submit my documents beyond the
10 calendar days?
You are deemed in violation of the guidelines
and shall be correspondingly penalized thru
point deduction.Worse, you shall not be
assigned a practicum adviser within the
period of your OJT.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I have my medical certificate issued by a nonUST Health Service physician/family doctor?
Under CHED Memo No.17, Series of 2012,
and upheld for strict implementation via a
Memorandum dated Nov. 13, 2014 from the
Office of the Secretary General, only medical
certificates issued by the UST Health Service
(UST HS) shall be accepted
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can we use a medical certificate previously
issued?
Yes, provided it has a one year validity,will
cover the practicum assignment/period
and it is issued by the UST HS
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the format of the Practicum Summary?
The Practicum Summary (part of your
Pracfolio) must contain the following :
 process of finding the practicum placement
 reflection about working in the
organization/company
 work schedule
 most memorable practicum moment
 difficulties encountered and solutions made
It must be typewritten in a long bond paper, font is
Times New Roman, size 12, line spacing is 1.15, 1
½ inches on left margin, the rest is 1 inch;
maximum of 3 pages
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why 300 hours?
The CHED Memo mandates 6 units of practicum,
hence, the 300 hours is deemed optimal - not too
long, not too short for a student to have a
meaningful practicum experience.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I have my practicum assignment in the
province/outside NCR?
The policy states that the practicum
assignment should be located in the NCR.
