The practicum program design requires complete participation on each day of the in-person practicum event to properly log the required hours and demonstrate the required skills.

Roll will be taken at the beginning of each day and checked again at the return from any scheduled breaks during instruction. For any digital classes (not all practicums include digital elements), cameras will be required to be on during roll in order to verify that a student is actually present.

Tardy Policy

Students are expected to arrive on time for all sessions of the Psilocybin Practicum Training Course. Tardiness disrupts the learning environment and can impact the experience of other participants. If a student is consistently late, the instructor may address the issue on an individual basis, which may include additional training time to make up for missed hours. These additional hours may also incur additional costs at the discretion of the program director. 

Tracking and Reporting Enrollment, Attendance, and Completion

Acadia Professional Learning Practicum Supervisor will record attendance for each day to confirm minimum hour participation.

Failure to complete the course due to unacceptable attendance will be reported to DORA and any other required state authorities if required by law. Such a failure to complete because of failed attendance will not result in any refunds of tuition paid and will likely require re-enrollment in the practicum course in the future and paying tuition again.
