Students have the option of completing the program without the externship to receive a certificate of completion. In the event a student is placed in an externship and does not complete it due to a valid emergency the student must furnish valid documentation, if this is not provided the student then must locate a new externship site on their own behalf and complete the remaining hours or sticks.
