criterion for granting work, study, or grading or other benefits. However, sexual harassment may
also involve relationships among equals, as when repeated sexual advances or demeaning verbal
behavior have a harmful effect on a person’s ability to study or work in the academic setting.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other physical conduct and
expressive behavior of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when: (1) submission to such
conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s employment
or education, or (2) submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the
basis for academic or employment decisions affecting that individual, or (3) such conduct has the
purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s academic or professional
performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or demeaning employment or educational
environment.
Social Work Certification
Upon completion of the Foundation Curriculum most students are eligible for Social Work
Certification at the basic level. Students are directed to the Department of Regulations and
Licensing Web-page for details pertaining to this certification.
Upon completion of the MSW Curriculum most students are eligible for Social Work
Certification at the Advanced level. Students are directed to the Department of Regulations and
Licensing Web-page for details pertaining to this certification. Due to the timing of program
completion many students do not receive their diplomas until October following the last summer
semester. This causes a delay in a graduate’s ability to apply for certification. Graduates who
wish to apply early for certification are to complete two forms that must be signed by the MSW
Program Coordinator. If the student is within six months of graduating they need to complete
form #2576 and submit this to the MSW Program Coordinator for signature. If students have not
received a satisfactory grade for any SW course this form will not be signed by the MSW
Program Coordinator. Following completion of all required course work, graduates can submit to
the MSW Program Coordinator for approval form #1978, which verifies that graduates have
completed the MSW program. Both of these forms will be sent directly to the DRL in
Departmental envelopes to ensure authenticity. A copy of both forms is maintained in the
student’s MSW file. Students can request a copy of the signed form for their records.
Students with Disabilities
Services are available to each student with a disability and the Collaborative MSW Program
utilizes the University policy on students with disabilities.
In general, each student with a documented disability is provided reasonable accommodations in
the classroom and field. A student with a disability must first meet with a representative from
the office that works with students who have disabilities who in turn accesses the necessary
documentation for the University, explains campus resources available to the student, and reports
to faculty (anonymously), the necessary accommodations needed for instruction.
Students in the Collaborative MSW Program have ready access to assistive technologies through
