All expenses and arrangements for housing are the responsibility of the student. Expenses for travel and relocating will vary by student. Car travel costs about 32 cents per mile. Expenses involved with relocating may include travel, long distance phone calls, deposits, and storage fees. Please, review the mileage to each practice site to comprehend the need to relocate or the distance of a commute.
Students pay all expenses, including tuition and fees during the supervised practice rotations.
During the supervised practice rotations, professional dress is required. In some instances, a student may need to purchase a lab coat. All students are expected to own their own computers before starting the supervised practice experiences. A laptop computer should be used during supervised experiences at the Illinois Department of Human Services. Technology is an important part of any professional career and access to a computer is essential for gaining and maintaining computer skills.
