Instructions for Undergraduate Students:
Please following these procedures when applying for a fieldwork experience in the undergraduate Exercise Science and Leadership concentration:
-
Review the Exercise Science Career Center web page for potential site placements for undergraduate practicum and internship credit.
-
Make an appointment to meet with Dr. Jana Walters, the undergraduate ESL coordinator. She will discuss your fieldwork options, grading procedures, weekly reports, and final placement approval. You may contact Dr. Walters to set up an appointment by email (walterjr@jmu.edu) or by phone (568-4864).
-
Download the documents for the undergraduate fieldwork application process. Complete the "Internship & Practicum Application", the "Agency Acceptance Form", and the "ESL Internship & Practicum Guide." Submit these forms to the fieldwork site supervisor for his/her approval.

Return the signed application and agency acceptance forms to Dr. Walters. At that time, you will receive confirmation of your site placement and a registration permission number which is necessary to register for the course. Enrollment in KIN 471 or KIN481 may not be completed without this permission number.
-
Register for credit for the practicum (KIN 471) or internship (KIN 481). Be sure to contact Dr. Flohr during the first week of classes to confirm your contact information.
