Students should discuss the arrangement of their field experience with the LAHS internship adviser no later than the fall semester of their junior year. Information concerning specific field placements can be obtained from the directory of the Career Services or the LAHS internship adviser.
No grades below C- are allowed. Courses may not be taken S-N, unless offered S-N only.
