Submit two letters of recommendation supporting the candidates abilities, motivation and suitability for the social work profession to the program director. Make formal application to the social work program while enrolled in SW 302 Generalist Practice I. Sample application forms can be found in the Social Work Departments Student Handbook. Forms are available through the Social Work Department Interview with the Program Director and the Faculty Supervisor for Field Placement. Conditional Admission Students who are admitted conditional to the program may take social work courses but are subject to review before taking SW 411 and SW 412. Conditional Admission is an opportunity for the Social Work faculty and the student to address issues that have been identified in the preadmittance phase of the program that affect professional growth and development.
Conditional admission is limited to one year.
The Social work Department's Student Handbook identifies procedures for conditional admission, denial of admission to the Program, or termination from the Social Work Program. Students can obtain the Department's Student Handbook from the College Bookstore. Transfer Students Credits recognized as transferable from accredited schools by the Office of the Registrar at Ursuline College are acceptable to fulfill the liberal arts requirements of the Social Work Program. Courses transfer to the Social Work Program, if these courses have been taken in an institution that is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education, or a transfer agreement has been approved by the Social Work Department and the Office of the Registrar. Transfer courses with human biology content can be submitted for review.
