GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

1. Interns must complete all Program Requirements in order to be eligible to graduate.  This includes:

1. Completion of the required number of hours in each rotation.
2. Satisfactory completion of all rotations and achievement of entry level competency in all rotations
3. Satisfactory completion of all assignments as determined by Internship Faculty
4. Completion of the Address Verification Form
5. Financial obligations to the Program must be paid in full
   
   
1. Once all the above requirements are met, the Internship Director will send 4 signed originals of the Verification Statement to the intern and place one signed original in the intern’s file.
   
   
2. The Internship Director will then process paperwork to be sent to the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR).
   
   
3. It is expected that Program requirements will be completed within fourteen (14) months of the Program start date.  Continuation in the program after that time will result in a continuation fee of 1/12 of the current tuition per month for a maximum of seven (7) months, unless an alternative arrangement is agreed upon between the intern and the Internship Director.    
   
   
4. Failure to complete program requirements within twenty one (21) months of the Program start date (150% of planned completion) will lead to termination in the Program unless a specific alternative plan is agreed upon between the intern and the Internship Director.
   
   
5. NOTE:  Many states have licensure for dietitians.  It is the intern’s responsibility to know what the regulations are in the state where s/he will practice.  Before graduation, interns will check their states’ licensure regulations to assure that they are in compliance upon accepting positions in that state.
