Footnotes:
- Additional hours may be necessary, depending on Counseling Services needs and/or training requirements.
- Approximate distribution of hours without an optional rotation. Weekly schedule will be adjusted by primary supervisor when completing a rotation.
- Hours too few and inconsistent in number to add to the weekly total columns.
- Interns participate in 2 to 3 weeks of on-call crisis rotation each quarter. Hours spent responding to crisis calls is variable and intermittent. Only time spent responding to a crisis call are counted toward direct service hours.
