What should you do if you switch to a different course during SPES placement?

• A. Inform the SPES coordinator and employer, and coordinate with the school to adjust placement if needed.
• B. Inform only the employer.
• C. Inform only the SPES coordinator.
• D. Continue with the placement without notifying anyone.

Answer: (A)

Switching to a different course during SPES placement changes what you’re aiming to learn and how your work experience will be evaluated. The best course of action is to inform the SPES coordinator and the employer, and coordinate with the school to adjust the placement as needed. This keeps your learning plan aligned with the new course outcomes, ensures you meet program requirements for credits and supervision, and helps the employer adapt tasks and schedules to fit the new goals. Informing only the employer or only the SPES coordinator can leave others unaware and lead to mismatched objectives or credit issues, and continuing without notification can violate program policies and affect eligibility.
