All course work is completed on campus during the four week session. The University is aware of the fact that many of the FSIS participants may be entering or returning to a college campus after several years of employment and may need some special guidance and encouragement as they pursue the Fundamentals of Food Safety Science curriculum. Select TAMU personnel provide specific, regularly scheduled hours for counseling and tutoring participants who are in need of assistance. Student performance is evaluated through standard University testing procedures at the discretion of the faculty. No partial credit is awarded.
Course work is recorded on a transcript showing grade, credit hours and grade points earned.
Classroom attendance is essential in this Program. Upon completion of the 160 contact hours and other work in Fundamentals in Food Safety Science, participants receive a certificate indicating their attendance in the Program.
