Purpose of Practicum/Internship
The purpose of the College’s criminal justice practicum is to provide community and
professional based learning opportunities for criminal justice students through exposure to new
and challenging field experiences within a criminal justice setting.
The practicum is designed to offer opportunities to interface with criminal justice
practitioners, clients, and other professionals, in order to observe the application of theoretical
concepts and the functionality of criminal justice organizations in the community and
governmental environments, as learned in the undergraduate curriculum.
The practicum is also an academic learning experience in which students are expected to
participate in a seminar and successfully complete written assignments which will provide students
the opportunity to apply knowledge acquired in the classroom with practical experience from their
practicum placement.
The practicum student will complete 210 hours of work experience at the placement site of
his/her choosing provided the practicum site also agrees to accept the student.
It is the
responsibility of the student to choose the site, contact the site supervisor, and schedule an
interview for the placement position. (Refer to Practicum Set Up Site Document).
General Practicum Requirements
All students will need to contact Anne Strouth one semester before the student plans to
take course CRMJ2190 (Practicum/Seminar Course) in order to enroll in the practicum course.
The practicum course contains a seminar portion which is accessible through North Central
State College’s Canvas website. Accessibility to a computer is needed to familiarize the student
1
with Canvas. Tutorial sessions are available to aid students with understanding the functions of
Canvas.
Reliable transportation to and from the practicum site is a requirement for students
participating in the practicum. Some practicum sites may require the student to travel to various
other sites to enhance the learning experience, so, again, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure
they have access to reliable transportation.
Additional Practicum Eligibility & Placement Requirements
Undergraduate students applying for the CRMJ 2190 (Practicum/Seminar Course) must be
prepared, academically and otherwise, for the practicum experience. Practicum students represent
the Criminal Justice Program at North Central State College and therefore must have a strong
personal character consisting of maturity, integrity, and high ethical standards.
A student may be denied enrollment in the practicum course or removed from the course
by the College if the College determines the student has violated North Central State College
policies, including, but not limited to, the Student Code of Conduct. In addition, unexcused
absences and/or tardiness will not be tolerated.
It is mandatory that students meet the eligibility criteria specified by their practicum site.
Although criteria varies, practicum sites commonly require students to successfully pass local,
state, and federal background screenings as well as drug tests, and polygraph screenings. Students
who are not able to secure a practicum placement due to a criminal history or the use of illicit
substances will not be able to complete the Criminal Justice practicum course, which will prevent
students from graduating. Individuals with a felony and/or domestic violence conviction will
2
experience extreme difficulty finding a practicum site. Students with misdemeanor convictions
should seek advice from an advisor in the Criminal Justice program.
While criminal justice work can involve heightened risks to your safety and welfare, you
must not allow yourself to be placed in any dangerous activity (i.e. carrying a gun, making arrests
or participating in any other activity or behavior that is dangerous to yourself or others). If a
practicum site supervisor orders you to participate in a dangerous situation, respectfully, but
firmly, decline to participate and immediately contact the Criminal Justice faculty.
Practicum Expectations
Practicum students will be required to do all of the following:

Work at a practicum site for a total of 210 hours over the length of the practicum course,
approximately 15-16 weeks;


Dress professionally at the practicum site and during the practicum course at all times;

More Practicum Expectations - Practicum Conduct
During the course of their practicum, the student is representing North Central State
College and the Department of Criminal Justice. Therefore, during the performance of their
practicum duties the student shall adhere to the following conduct guidelines:
4
1. Reporting to the Practicum Placement Agency/Facility
Students should report to their practicum site on the date determined by the Criminal
Justice Coordinator, the student, and the practicum site. Typically, this date shall be during the
first week of the semester in which the student is enrolled in CRMJ2190. Students may not report
to their placement agency prior to the first day of the semester or prior to submitting all required
documentation.
2. Attendance
If you become ill and cannot attend your practicum site, you must contact your practicum
site supervisor and inform him/her that you will be absent and also the practicum coordinator of
the Criminal Justice Department. When you are absent, you must consult your practicum site
supervisor and obtain permission to make up the work hours missed. Also, tardiness and leaving
early are not appropriate professional conduct. Students who engage in such conduct may be
terminated from the practicum placement and appropriate action will be taken by the College.
3. Dress & Personal Attire
Students should dress in professional attire at all times unless otherwise informed by their
practicum site supervisor. If a practicum student has any questions about the appropriateness of
certain clothing the student should discuss them with their site supervisor before wearing the
item(s) in question. Reporting to the practicum site wearing inappropriate attire will warrant an
invitation to leave your practicum and the time will not be counted toward the 210 hours of your
practicum. You may be permanently removed from your site if you report to your practicum site
a second time wearing inappropriate attire. Students should be aware of personal hygiene, and be
clean and well groomed. Men should keep facial hair trimmed and/or shaved. Women should
5
keep hair back in a ponytail, and/or pinned aware from their face for safety purposes. Both male
and female students should be aware of not wearing clothing, makeup, or any items that could be
viewed as provocative, or draw attention to the student in a way that distracts from the
professionalism of the practicum site. All students must adhere to practicum site policy regarding
facial piercings and/or tattoos.
4. Integrity, Ethics & Professional Conduct
Disclosing privileged information relating to any case or other matter handled by the
sponsoring practicum site, about any client, person involved, or staff person for that site, to any
unauthorized person either verbally or in writing constitutes a violation of ethics and
confidentiality statutes.
Therefore, the student cannot discuss specific case information,
client/person involved identification data, or anything else that would compromise the practicum
site’s professional reputation or credibility in any way. It is the responsibility of practicum students
to become familiar with and adhere to all of the confidentiality policies and procedures of the site
in which they complete their practicum. If the student has any questions about how to conduct
themselves in situations involving confidentiality or anything else, the student should ask their
practicum site supervisor about how to respond appropriately. Failure to abide by the policies and
procedure of the practicum site could subject the student to criminal charges and prosecution.
5. Time Logs
As per the Ohio Board of Regents, the practicum course requires a minimum of 210 hours
of placement in a criminal justice agency workplace. The hours may be scheduled in a manner that
best suits your academic schedule, work schedule, and other aspects of your personal life. You are
6
to meet with the supervisor of your practicum site and arrange the schedule. This schedule must
be provided to Anne Strouth prior to starting at the practicum site.
All students will be responsible for maintaining a weekly report. This report will indicate
the date and times of your placement, and must be signed by your workplace supervisor. The
report shall also indicate various work assignments, cases, incidents or projects you were involved
in.
Significant events shall also be recorded and you will be responsible for typing a detailed
summary of how these events in the practicum site are tied to the academic background you have
received as part of the practicum curriculum. These sheets are to be turned in weekly to Anne
Strouth’s office. You must type your summary as a Microsoft© Word document and attach it to
your time log.
6. Safety Issues
During the practicum, students may be exposed to some risks associated with working in
the field of criminal justice. Examples of such risks include making home visits, and working with
individuals who may behave in an unpredictable manner or have a communicable disease (e.g.,
HIV, AIDS, Hepatitis). To minimize risk, students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with
their practicum site’s security precautions and safety protocol and to discuss any safety concerns
with their practicum site supervisor and the criminal justice program coordinator.
7
Seminar Requirement
In addition to working at your practicum site, you will also have a seminar. Because this
is an online course students will not meet as a class on campus. Therefore, the seminar replaces
traditional lecture. The seminar will be conducted online using Canvas. You will be assigned
weekly assignments via Canvas. All assignments will have a due date and late work will not be
accepted. Check your assignment tab located on the left of your screen within Canvas weekly for
these assignments.
You will be asked to research and discuss events, incidents and issues that have taken place
in your criminal justice practicum placements. You may also be asked other questions as they
pertain to your knowledge, views, and participation in the criminal justice placement. In addition,
you may be asked questions that you will need to take back with you to your placement site to be
answered. These answers must be typed in summary format. These activities/assignments are
count as part of your participation.
The Canvas assignments must be a minimum of 300 words. Any assignment under 300
words will not be graded and the student will receive a “0” for that assignment. Each student is
required to provide “1” (one) response to another classmate’s posting per assignment as stated.
This response must be a minimum of 150 words. Any postings under 150 words will not be graded
and the student will receive a “0” for that assignment. Students may choose to respond to more
than one student to reach the minimum word requirement. Each assignment is weighted at
minimum, 10 points, and each response is weighted at 10 points.
8
**REMEMBER** the class sessions simulate meetings and discussion among co-workers in the
practicum setting. To respect the rights of all, please:

Show respect to your classmates by using positive feedback within the discussion rooms
and email.

Negative feedback will not be tolerated. You will receive a warning for the first time.
Further use of negative feedback will result in a “0” grade for that assignment. If negative
feedback is used on a third occasion, you may be removed from the class.
You will also be required to complete an 8 page project paper which will be due the 15th
or 16th week of the semester. This project paper could be in the form of a written policy, subject,
program, or project which you would like to implement at your placement site. Prior to the midterm
of this course, there will be an assignment related to this project paper. More information about
this project will be provided as the student participates further in this course. The assignment
should cover the following: (1) The name of the project or program; (2) The purpose; (3) Goals
and objectives; (4) Implementation procedures; (5) Budget; and (6) Desired outcomes.
1. Evaluations
Practicum students are required to submit a Mid-Term Evaluation and a Final Evaluation
completed and signed by their practicum site supervisor. These evaluations are intended to provide
feedback to the student and the Criminal Justice Program Coordinator regarding the student’s
performance and achievement. Students must also submit a Mid-Term and Final Self Evaluation.

Appendix A
CRMJ2190 Practicum Set-up Information: (to be taken during the last semester of the
student's degree program)
Criminal Justice Students
It is imperative that you read this document thoroughly as it is your guide to your placement in
your capstone course CRMJ2190 Practicum and Seminar Class.
Step One:
Begin thinking one semester before you plan to take the course where you would like to conduct
your practicum at. You must work for 15 weeks for 14 hours a week totaling 210 hours. This is a
lot of time so you must consider your academic schedule!! !
Step Two:
Contact Anne Strouth via email ([email protected]) and advise her which
field/area/position you would like to perform your practicum in and in which semester you
would like to do it in. Send the email at least a half of a semester before you plan on taking the
course. Placement can take up to 6 weeks. You MUST be "working" at the site by the 2nd week
of the semester that you are enrolled in.
Step Three:
You must have been fingerprinted at our Human Resource Office prior to starting at your site.
Make an appointment or stop in during open fingerprinting hours. (This office is across from the
cashier's office). A copy of the results must be given to the site supervisor at the beginning of the
interview.
Step Four:
Once you have shared your placement ideas with Anne, she will contact agencies for your
placement. Anne will send you an email with the name and number of the site supervisor.
HOWEVER, it is up to the student to contact the placement site and arrange an interview. All
students are required to be interviewed by the placement site to determine if the student is a
"good" fit for the agency. Anne does not make recommendations. She only determines if spots
are open and informs the agencies that an NCSC student will be making arrangements for the
interview. Proper attire must be worn at these interviews.
Step Five:
If the agency agrees to accept you, send Anne Strouth an email indicating such. Anne will then
confirm the placement with the site. Once confirmation has been made, Anne will open the
course up for the student to go online and register for the course. Registration for the course is
not permitted until the student has a confirmed site placement.
Step Six:
Look for an email from Anne Strouth that contains documents that are required to be filled out
by the student prior to working at their placement site.
12
Appendix A
NOTES:
If a student wishes to find a site on their own, they are permitted to do this. However, the student
may not state "Anne Strouth recommended me." If the student chooses to initiate contact at a
site, the student needs to inform the site that they are an NCSC Criminal Justice student and
would like to conduct their 210 hour practicum at their agency. If a student chooses this route,
the student must send Anne an email indicating the agency's name, phone number, and the name
of the site supervisor or the name of the person that granted the student permission. Anne will
confirm the placement and follow the steps previously stated.
The site MUST be Criminal Justice Related. There are many Human Service Sites that can
qualify as criminal justice placement sites. If you would like this list (HSMV or CRMJ), please
email Anne and request a copy. It is up to the student to ensure that the site they choose from this
list is criminal justice related.
If students find a site that is NOT on the CRMJ list or HSMV list, the student must immediately
send an email to Anne Strouth and inform her of the site's information. No student is permitted to
work at a site unless NCSC has a signed site agreement. This process could take 5-8 weeks. If a
student chooses this route, it is the responsibility of the student to contact Anne Strouth in
enough advance time so that she can initiate the contract process. Again, begin thinking about
your placement location a semester in advance so there is enough time for placements.

Online assignments and final project paper
1.
During the online class, you will be asked to discuss and research events, incidents and issues that have
taken place in your CRJ Practicum placements. You may also be asked other questions as they pertain to
your knowledge, views and participation in the CRMJ placement. You may also be asked questions that
you will need to take back with you to your practicum site to be answered. These questions must be typed
in summary format. These will count as participation.
2.
You will be required to complete a project paper due the last week of the semester. This project paper will
be a policy, subject, program, or project, which you would like to implement at your internship site. There
is an assignment within your course as you get further in this course that includes more information about
this project. It will be a minimum of 8 pages, APA format and should cover the following:
a. The name of the project of program
b. The purpose
c. Goals and objectives
d. Implementation procedures
e. Budget/Cost
f. Desired outcomes
3.
This class is graded as pass/fail. This is a P NP course therefore, you are required to have a 74% or higher
in order to receive a P as a grade
4.
Your paper will be due the last week of the semester. A date will be posted in the online classroom
assignment tab. For summer sessions, it is imperative to understand that your semester is only 10 weeks in
duration and not the normal 16. Please take this into consideration as you attempt to complete your 210
hours in 10 weeks along with your online 10 week course.
5.
All correspondence for this course will be done via your student email account (not the inbox in
Canvas!!!!). You must make sure that you set up this account. All weekly assignments for this course will
be answered in the Canvas discussion room and via the assignment tab to the left of the screen….NOT at
the top of the screen. All assignments will have a due date. Late work will not be accepted. Check your
assignments weekly. Because this is an online course, we will not meet as a class on campus. See the
announcement page as it gives you directions on how to view your assignment page. PLEASE read the
announcement page BEFORE you attempt any assignment. Also….you need to check the announcement
page WEEKLY.
6.
All assignments will state the due date. Answers to discussion assignment must be a minimum of 300
words. Any assignments under 300 words will not be graded and the student will receive a “0” for that
assignment. Each student is required to post “1” (one) response to another classmate’s posting per
discussion assignment. This response must be a minimum of 150 words. If you cannot find enough
substance to discuss with one student, you may choose another student to engage with for your 150 word
response. Any postings under the word requirements will not be graded and the student will receive a “0”
for that assignment. Each assignment is weighted at 10 points and each response is weighted at 10 points.
Why 300 and why 150? In order to simulate the classroom learning experience, conversation is our method.
Having a minimum word requirement will drive you to elaborate and converse thereby, creating an
environment of learning from one another.
7.
You should ensure that you have a VALID Ohio driver’s license. Some sites may require you to drive or
operate a vehicle and most sites if not all will conduct an OHLEG check. This check will reveal if you have
a warrant, your license is under suspension, or if you have been arrested and have a record. Some sites will
24
Appendix D - E
not accept you as a practicum student if you fail to possess a valid Ohio driver’s license or if you have a
criminal background. Placement at the practicum sites is at the discretion of the practicum sites.
Q.
Examination Policy:
See Letter P
R.
Class Attendance and Homework Make-Up Policy:
See Letter P and Letter S. All work is to be submitted through Canvas. All assignments are due by Sunday
6pm. All responses are due by Monday 6pm. Each week you must submit your timesheet (signed by your
supervisor) and a TYPED written activity log with each timesheet. Refer to the timesheet for directions for
this work. Time sheet and activity summary may be emailed to the professor or hand delivered under the
professor’s office door. NO LATE work is accepted within this specific course
S.
Classroom Expectations:
You MUST wear appropriate business attire or the attire your supervisor informs you to wear while at your
practicum placement site. If you are reported as showing up to your site wearing inappropriate attire, you will
be asked to leave. That time will not be counted toward your 210 hours. You may be permanently removed
from your site if you show up to your site a second time wearing inappropriate attire.
You will be responsible to give your supervisor two performance evaluations. They will be at mid term point
and the last 2 weeks of the semester. The forms are listed under the weekly assignments. You can find the form
under your file tab.
As per the Ohio Board of regents, this course requires a minimum of 210 hours of placement in a criminal
justice agency workplace. The hours may be scheduled in a manner that best suits your academic schedule,
work schedule and other aspects of your personal life. You are to meet with the supervisor of your placement
and arrange the schedule. This schedule must be provided to your instructor for this course.
You will be responsible for maintaining a weekly report. This report will indicate the date and times of your
placement and be initialed by your workplace supervisor. The report shall also indicate various work
assignments, cases, incidents or projects you were involved in. Significant events shall also be recorded and you
will be responsible for typing a detailed summary of how these events in the workplace are tied to the academic
background you have received as part of your North Central State College, CRMJ curriculum. These sheets are
to be turned in weekly to your instructor’s office or emailed. You must type your summary as a word document
and attach it to your form. Do not use the space that is located on the form. You must describe your events,
ideas, and experiences in as much detail as possible. Again, if you are not on campus, you may email the time
sheet and summaries. However, the time sheets must have the correct signatures or it will not be accepted.
Remember, the class sessions simulate meetings and discussion among co-workers in the
workplace. To respect the rights of all, please:


Show respect to your classmates by using positive feedback within the discussion rooms and email
Negative feedback will not be tolerated. You will receive a warning for the first time. Further use of
negative feedback will result in a “0” grade for that assignment. If negative feedback is used on a third
occasion, you may be removed from the class.

College Procedures/Policies:
Attendance Requirements: All students are required to attend all scheduled classes and examinations.
Each faculty member has the right to establish regulations regarding attendance that he/she considers
necessary for successful study.
Students who do not attend classes may be administratively withdrawn from those classes. However,
failure to attend classes does not constitute withdrawal, and students are expected to process a formal
withdrawal though the Student Records Office in Kee Hall.
Student engagement requirements:
Student engagement is based on the “active pursuit” of learning which can be measured by class
attendance, class participation (in class or online), taking required quizzes/examinations, and submission of
work assignments or papers. Student engagement consists of a student attending at least 60% of the class
sessions (there should be attendance throughout the term) and/or completing 75% of the assignments listed
on the syllabus at the midpoint in the term. Exceptions can be made when there is on-going
communication between the student and faculty member. The communication must be documented and the
faculty member and student must be in agreement regarding the exception. Students not meeting the
expectation will be administratively withdrawn from class. If a student believes he/she was
administratively withdrawn in error, he/she may file an appeal. Being administratively withdrawn may
have program and financial aid implications.
Academic Misconduct is any activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the college, or
subvert the educational process. Examples of academic misconduct include, but are not limited to:
1.
Violation of course or program rules as contained in the course syllabus or other information provided
to the student; violation of program requirements as established by departments and made available to

Statement on Disabilities: Any student who requires reasonable accommodations related to a disability
should inform the course instructor and the Coordinator of Specialized Services (Room 138 in Kee Hall;
phone 419-755-4727).
Students who encounter difficulty in any of their courses are encouraged to visit the Tutoring Resource
Center (Room 119 in Fallerius Technical Education Center) for tutoring assistance, and the Student Success
Center (Room 136 in Kee Hall) for academic assistance, advising services, referrals for personal counseling
and Learning Disability (LD) Testing.
Statement on Withdrawals: As a student, you are expected to attend class. If you are unable or choose not
to attend class, or if for whatever reason you are unable to keep up with the requirements of a course, you
need to officially drop the class at the Student Records Office. Refund dates and withdrawal dates will
vary slightly from term to term. Contact the Student Records Office for applicable dates. Additionally
these dates are posted on the academic calendar available on the college’s website,
www.ncstatecollege.edu, under the Academics heading on the home page and are available at the Student
Records Office in Kee Hall,. Students should go to the Student Records Office (Room 142 in Kee Hall) to
process their withdrawal from any class.
If you choose to walk away from your class without officially withdrawing from it, the faculty member
teaching the class must grade your classroom performance on the material available to him or her. This
normally results in an "F" grade. An "F" grade can lower your grade point average considerably depending
on the total credits accumulated.
