Athletic training students (ATS) enrolled in clinical education courses are required to create a tentative weekly clinical schedule in collaboration with their preceptor. This schedule must be completed during the first week of the clinical assignment and uploaded to Canvas by the end of that week.
ATS are expected to arrive at their clinical site on time according to the agreed-upon schedule. If a student anticipates being absent or late, they must provide their preceptor with reasonable advance notice. Failure to provide such notice may be considered a breach of duty and could result in action under the UNL ATP Infraction Policy or Termination Policy.
