CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION IN APPLIED HUMAN SCIENCES

The UPEI Co-operative Program is an integrated approach to university education which enables students to alternate academic terms on campus with work terms in suitable employment. The success of such programs is founded on the principle that students are able to apply theoretical knowledge from course studies in the workplace and return to the classroom with practical workplace experience. Students who successfully complete all the requirements of the program will have the notation entered on their transcripts and on the graduation parchment.

In addition to the courses required for the Foods and Nutrition major, students enrolled in the Foods and Nutrition Co-operative Education Program must successfully complete Foods and Nutrition 3210 Food Service Systems Management, Foods and Nutrition 4020 Advanced Foods II and Business 1410 Marketing, as well as the required minimum number of Co-op courses to be eligible for the Co-op designation

Students accepted into the program complete at least three paid work terms of normally 14 weeks duration, and three professional development courses. Credits earned through completion of work terms are counted as general electives.

The Co-operative Education Program option is available to full-time students in the Foods and Nutrition program (excluding dietetic option). Applications to the Co-operative Education Program are normally made after completion of the first year of study.

See the Co-operative Education Program section of the UPEI Academic Calendar for more information.

Students interested in pursuing this option are also encouraged to seek relevant paid or unpaid work experience in the summer preceding application. A formal application for admission to the Integrated Dietetic Internship Program is required. Application forms are available from the department.

A selection panel will determine student admissibility based upon academic performance, paid and unpaid work experience, motivation and personal suitability. Students meeting the admission criteria will be ranked and the top candidates will be interviewed. By the first week of February, the Professional Practice Coordinator Dietetics will notify, in writing, all students interviewed as to the outcome of the process.

Students accepted into the dietetic internship program must show evidence of all immunizations being up to date prior entering the program. As well, each student will be required to show proof of a completed criminal record check prior to the start date.

CONTINUANCE REQUIREMENTS

Once admitted to the program, students must continue in full-time enrolment between internship courses. An academic review of students’ performance will take place at the end of each semester. Students are required to maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 with no Foods and Nutrition course below a GPA of 2.7. Students who fail to meet these standards or who fail a required course(s) will not be permitted to begin the next internship course until standards are met.

Internship students must complete all of the regular requirements for a Bachelor of Science (Foods and Nutrition) degree. Foods and Nutrition 3210 (Food Service Systems Management), Foods and Nutrition 3710 (Lifespan Nutrition), Foods and Nutrition 3830 (Professional Practice in Dietetics), Foods and Nutrition 4220 (Quantity Food Production), Foods and Nutrition 4310 (Evidence Based Practice in the Health Sciences), and Foods and Nutrition 4610 (Clinical Nutrition II) must be included within their degree program.

In addition to the above requirements, students must successfully complete three internship courses.

INTERNSHIP SCHEDULE

Students must complete three internship courses in the Integrated Dietetic Internship Program. The first internship course FN-3001 is scheduled in the spring and summer months between the third and fourth academic years. The second and third internship courses FN-4001 and FN-4002 are completed following fourth year. The first internship course will include a one week professional practice course, followed by an eight week placement, for a total of 9 weeks. This will be followed by second and third internship courses of no less then 26 weeks, for a total of at least 35 weeks.  Placements may be extended if an intern has not completed all competencies.

Satisfactory fulfilment of the Integrated Dietetic Internship courses requires:

1. A satisfactory evaluation from the Preceptor at the placement site.

2. Completion of the minimum number of required competencies as indicated on the appropriate evaluation form.

WITHDRAWAL CONDITIONS

Students will be required to withdraw from the Integrated Dietetic Internship Program if:

1. They are dismissed from, resign, or fail to achieve the required competencies during the program, or

2. They do not achieve a passing grade in required courses or do not maintain the standards for nutrition courses and overall GPA necessary for continuance in the Integrated Dietetic Internship Program, or

3. They fail to abide by the policies and procedures set out by the Advisory Committee for the Integrated Dietetic Internship Program and/or those of the placement organization.

Students who voluntarily withdraw from or who are required to withdraw from the Integrated Dietetic Internship Program may remain in and continue with the regular Foods and Nutrition majors program.

REGISTRATION AND FEES

Students are required to register for all three internship courses (FN-3001, 4001, 4002) according to normal registration procedures. Internship courses will officially be designated on students’ transcripts as pass or fail. Students pay for their internship courses as they are taken.
