Dear partner, Please nominate your students for spring/summer semester 2014 by filling in our NOMINATION FORM no later than November 1. Nominated students will be contacted via email shortly after nomination and will be sent application forms and all other information relevant to their studies in Ljubljana. Students will have to fill in online application forms till November 15. English Proficiency (if English is not the native language of the student) The University of Ljubljana requires that the students have very good language skills (very good knowledge in reading, writing and speaking of the language) in order to be able to study here. In the past we have experienced some troubles with students who did indeed have a language certificate on a B2 level although they lacked highly in comprehension during their studies and communication towards their professors. So in order to avoid this trouble we would kindly ask you when nominating students to have in mind this requirement, Together with their application form students must present a certificate of their English language skills. Very good language skills refer to level B2 on the CERF scale of the European Language Portfolio Levels. How to prove the language skills in English: Language skills in English are listed on the Transcript of Credits of the home university (in case student had language course or followed courses held in English at home institution/ or has some certificate issued by your institution); or Submit the Language Certificate with CERF scale issued by University (you can find it in attachment – in case student does not have official language certificate it is acceptable that you fill in and confirm the attached language certificate, where you confirm that student`s knowledge of English refers at least to B2 level ); or Submit TOEFL score of 79 (IBT) or IELTS score of 6. Residence permit (non EU citizens, non EU citizens studying in EU): All non-EU students need to apply for a residence permit before coming to Slovenia. Note that the application procedure can take up to 2 months. With application form for residence permit students have to enclose: a valid passport (the expiry date of which exceeds the intended period of stay in the Republic of Slovenia by at least three months); Confirmation of enrolment at the higher education institution
Dear Incoming MSW Students: MSW students may pursue exemptions from foundation course requirements. This year we are implementing an online exemption request process for MSW students. Beginning with the incoming fall 2017 MSW class the exemption process is web‐based and student‐initiated. We encourage students to request exemptions as soon as possible as it may affect fall 2017 course selections. Students are encouraged to pursue exemptions for foundation courses if they have already covered the material and demonstrated the relevant competencies in course work completed within the past six years with grades of “B” or better. (See details below). The following foundation courses are eligible for exemptions: SW 504* SW 511 (interpersonal practice concentrators) SW 512 (community organization, management of human services or social policy and evaluation concentrators) SW 515/531 SW 521 SW 522 SW 530 SW 560 * Exemptions from SW 504 are very rare and approved only under extraordinary circumstances Exemption Criteria Exemptions from foundation courses will be granted when students have prior undergraduate or graduate course work comparable to the content of a foundation course. Students need to have completed at least two relevant courses to be eligible for an exemption from a foundation course The courses utilized for exemption review must have been completed within the six years prior to enrollment in the MSW program with a grade of “B” or better. Courses that are graded by narrative evaluation will also be considered for exemption review. When completing the exemption request form, if the course was not graded, but included a narrative evaluation, please indicate the grade as “narrative” in the appropriate box. Courses graded as Pass/Fail, Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory, or other evaluative scales cannot be utilized for exemption review unless it is for Field Instruction exemption consideration (SW 515/531). Prior work experience is not a basis for exemptions. Receiving an Exemption from a foundation course does not lower the number of credit hours needed for graduation. Students receiving exemptions will still need to complete 60 graduate credit hours (45 if eligible for advanced standing). Receiving exemptions will increase the amount of elective credits that a student can complete in the program. Exemption Process 1. Visit this link to access the exemption request form: https://ssw.umich.edu/assets/exemption-request/ 2. Select the relevant foundation course from the drop down menu. 3. Review the course statement and description to better understand the content covered in the relevant foundation course. 4. Upload the syllabus for the first course previously completed to be utilized for exemption review. Include any supporting documents that illustrate the relevance of this course. Provide a rationale for why the completed course contributes to the content and competencies of the MSW foundation course. 5. Repeat the process for the second previously completed course to be considered for the exemption review. Upload a syllabus and supporting documents for the second course and the rationale for this course being considered. 6. It is optional to add a third course, but sometimes it is necessary to cover all the areas in the foundation course. Follow the same format for this third course. 7. Complete the web‐based form and submit the request. Repeat the process for additional foundation course(s) to request an additional exemption(s). A faculty Exemption Consultant will review each submitted exemption request. Students will receive an email regarding the outcome of the exemption review. If the exemption is approved, students should register for courses for fall term accordingly. Students will be informed if an exemption request has been denied and if there is additional information needed. If additional information is needed, students will need to complete and submit a new exemption request including the additional materials requested. The School will review official transcripts to verify that a grade of “B” or higher was received for any course listed for an exemption request. Once the grade is verified, the exemption will be made official. Advanced Standing Students Advanced standing students typically only pursue an exemption from SW 560. Advanced standing students do not need to pursue exemption approval for the following courses SW 511 or SW 512, SW 515/531, SW 521, SW 522 and SW 530. Students Renouncing Advanced Standing Status Advanced standing‐eligible students who renounce advanced standing status are automatically exempted from the foundation courses which are not required for advanced standing students (SW 511 or SW 512, SW 515/531, SW 521, SW 522 and SW 530). Faculty Exemption Consultants for 2017‐2018: SW 504 Professor Jamie Mitchell SW 511 Professor Rich Tolman SW 512 MSW Program Director / Professor Barb Hiltz SW 515/531 Assistant Dean Dan Fischer SW 521 Professor Robert Ortega SW 522 Professor Cristina Bares SW 530 Professor Karen Staller SW 560 Professor Trina Shanks Substitutions Students who do not receive an exemption for a required foundation course may pursue approval for a substitution for the requirement. Substitutions may be granted for students wishing to take a graduatelevel SW course or a graduate‐level course given in another unit of the University of Michigan as a substitution for a required course. Students interested in pursuing a substitution for a required foundation or advanced course should discuss this option with their faculty advisor at fall orientation. Substitutions require approval of a student’s faculty advisor and the MSW Program Director. Course Planning Assistance Prior to the start of fall term, Course Planning Specialists are available in the Office of Students Services (OSS) to answer questions regarding exemptions and other course planning issues. OSS will be providing course registration information for all incoming students June 2017. To ask questions or schedule an appointment with a Course Planning Specialist after reviewing this information, please contact the Office of Student Services at ssw‐ossoffice@umich.edu or by phone at 734‐936‐0961. Welcome to the University of Michigan School of Social Work! We look forward to seeing you in Ann Arbor soon. Sincerely, Tim Colenback, Assistant Dean for Student Services
