Approve a Field Service Agreement between Grand Canyon University and Cochise Health and Social Services (CHSS) for an intern program.

The purpose of this agreement is to describe processes and responsibilities for each party so that CHSS can host GCU student interns in Public Health.

The program and standards provided will be of a form and type sufficient to meet the requirements for university credits and accreditation, as well as the requirements for the applicable State Board of Nursing and regulatory bodies. GCU shall be responsible for notifying CHSS of any loss or reduction of accreditation, licensing and credentials of GCU, its personnel and/or students.
