University-owned fleet cars are available to students for a charge. The School attempts to secure clinical and lab course placement for all students who are eligible, however, in the event of enrollment limitations, the following criteria are applied to establish priorities. Preregistration for summer takes place in the fall semester and students must commit themselves to enrolling in summer clinical courses before the end of the fall semester. For all 3 courses, students are responsible for identifying their area of interest or question, establishing objectives for the learning experience, and developing a learning contract with the faculty member.
