4. The preceptor must be willing and able to furnish the necessary recommendations and documentation of credentials.
   
   
5. Preceptors must be willing to fill out the required Syllabus forms for the modules/courses to be completed for the following trimester with the student and send them in to the College for approval.
   
   
6. Preceptors may combine the supervision of academic and clinical experience, or the student may have different preceptors for different portions of the academic and clinical experiences, as long as each clinical preceptor is registered with the College as an approved preceptor prior to the student’s initiation of study.

10. Preceptors must be willing to participate in one-on-one phone supervision by the college administration once each trimester. Evaluations will be collated in a written report once a year and placed in the preceptors file. These reports will not be used for retention, promotion, merit recognition, tenure or termination, as the College leaves the choice of staying with a preceptor up to the student, and vice-versa. It is important to remember that preceptors are not College employees. The student/ preceptor relationship is always voluntary.
    
    
11. Preceptors must be willing to sit on the Faculty Advisory Board.
