24.6 Course Format

To increase accessibility for students in remote and rural practice, we offer courses in the following formats:

  1. 6011, 6412, 6422, and social work electives will be offered by distance delivery; that is, not in a regular classroom format.

  2. 6312, 6322 and 6332: By residential institute consisting of 36 hours of classroom instruction. These courses also include home-study and teleconference and/or internet components scheduled prior to and/or following the institute. Students must be available on a full-time basis to attend classes and complete assignments and group projects during the institute portion of these courses. It is recommended that students take leave from their employment for the duration of a residential institute which may be scheduled in a combination of weekday, evening and weekend hours within a two week time period. The final decision regarding the residential institute schedule rests with the School of Social Work.

  3. 6912 and 6432 can be completed in St. John's, or in a student's home community where appropriate supervision is available.

  4. 6442 may be conducted in St. John's or in a student's home community, provided suitable audio-visual recording facilities are available.

  5. In exceptional circumstances, and contingent upon student numbers and school resources, additional course sections may be offered in a regular classroom format.
