Students are strongly encouraged to complete their ENG, MTH, and SDV requirements first. It is strongly recommended that students complete all developmental coursework in English before enrolling in HMS 100. Students should regularly meet with their faculty advisor and check their degree progress by accessing advisement reports in the Student Information System (SIS) in the myBrightpoint portal or the Academic Planner in Navigate. To determine eligibility for a Career Studies Certificate (CSC) in Bereavement and Grief Counseling or Substance Abuse Assistant students should consult their faculty advisor. Students must obtain a grade of “C” or better in the human services sequence courses (HMS 100, MEN 101, and MEN 102) in order to remain in the program. In MEN 290 students will complete 100 hours of practical hands-on training. Please read the Internship Requirements & Expectations in full. Students will secure their own internship sites prior to the start of their MEN 290 class. All internships must be approved by the Human Services and Mental Health Program Chair. Students may be subjected to criminal background, sex offender registry checks, TB screenings and/or other tests/checks as a condition of their placement in an internship site. Students will be expected to cover any costs incurred for these procedures. Students with a criminal record should contact the Program Head to discuss their practicum placement for MEN 290 prior to the start of those courses. A criminal record can decrease internship possibilities and may add additional barriers to finding a placement, however, there are opportunities out there for students with criminal records.
