Students assisting in an Outdoor Pursuits Program practicum must be enrolled for one-credit of PEL - 409 Practicum Outdoor. Practicum assignments must be approved by the course instructor or a Program Director.Enrollment may be for credit, or non-credit (ncs).

Credit enrollment is done via Duck Call. There is no registration block on practicums.

If you plan on enrolling for non-credit, you must complete a "permission to add" form. This form is available in the PE office (102 Esslinger) or from Michael, Jim or your course instructor. Take the completed form to the PE office along with payment, which can be in the form of cash or check, or applied to your student account.

All assignments are 1-credit transactions, with the exception of co-instructorships, which are two 1-credit transactions. If you are enrolling for more than one practicum, you need to use a different CRN each time.

Enroll for a $20 practicum if you are assisting with a course that does not include a transportation component, or a $40 practicum if you're assisting with a course that utilizes state vehicles. For a listing of OPP practicum crn's go to the practica page.

If possible, meet with the course instructor prior to the first class session. If this is not possible, attend the first class to learn about your specific responsibilities, or contact the instructor to find out the date and time of scheduled leader meetings.

Course descriptions and schedules are available online as pdf downloads. Download these documents from the web site, read them and bring any questions you may have to the course instructor.

For liability and risk management reasons enrollment in a practicum is REQUIRED BEFORE PARTICIPATION IN ANY FIELD OUTING.
