Student Agreement

The importance of this practicum packet cannot be emphasized enough. Please read all parts of the packet prior to beginning your clinical practicum experience. Portions of this packet must be returned to your adviser in the School of Biomedical Engineering, Engineering Success Center, Scott Bioengineering Building, at different times during the practicum/independent study experience. There is NO grace period or acceptable reason for not fulfilling your responsibility in this matter. This course is graded on a pass/fail system and failure to submit assignments in a timely manner will adversely affect your grade. Failure to submit all assignments will result in a failing grade.

This packet is due as soon as possible and at least two weeks prior to the start of the semester for which you would like credit.

If we may be of assistance at any time, please do not hesitate to contact us. We want this experience to be a very personally rewarding one for you.

School of Biomedical Engineering Health Insurance Notification

Depending on the type of practicum you are in (paid vs. unpaid), you may not be covered by Workers Compensation in the event you are injured.

○ If you are working at and being paid by a private company (other than CSU), the company is responsible through the Workers Compensation program to provide medical care to you in the event you are injured.

○ If you are working at and being paid by CSU, CSU is responsible through the Workers Compensation program to provide medical care to you in the event you are injured.

○ If you are not being paid while working at a private company (other than CSU), and you are enrolled in CSU credit, you will be covered under the CSU Workers Compensation program.

○ If you are not being paid and are working at CSU, you are responsible for your expenses if injured. It is highly recommended that you have your own medical insurance to cover any injury that may occur on the job.

If you should cause injury to someone else during your practicum experience, you are covered by the University for liability since you are a CSU student. However, liability insurance does not cover you if you are injured.

I have read this form and understand the terms of being involved in the practicum course. I am aware that I may need to be covered under my own medical insurance in the event of injury.
