42.5 Course Format

To increase accessibility for students in remote and rural areas, courses are offered in the following formats:

1. SCWK 6012, 6013, 6014, and 6413 are online courses.

2. SCWK 6313, 6314 and 6315 are online courses with a mandatory on-campus institute component consisting of 36 hours of classroom instruction. Course materials and activities for the pre-institute and post-institute components of the courses are available online for students. Classes are taught full time and students are expected to attend classes and complete assignments and group projects during this portion of the courses. It is recommended that students take leave from their employment for the duration of an on-campus 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 on-campus institute schedule rests with the School of Social Work.

3. SCWK 6917 can be completed where appropriate supervision is available.

4. SCWK 6000 and 6417 can be completed in consultation with the student’s Pathway mentor.

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