These notes are later copied to a Report Book (or to the Summer Practice Report) in accordance with the "Summer Practice Report Format*". The student submits the report during the registration period of the semester following the summer practice as a requirement of the course they must register (PNGE 300 and 400 for Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering). Students who do not submit their reports at the end of assigned period, are considered NOT to have fulfilled the summer practice. In addition to this report, the student might be asked for documents including additional information on the work accomplished.

7. If a report does not conform with the standards given by the "Summer Practice Report Format*", the student will be asked to modify the report, if the summer practice was otherwise successful. If the student does not hand in the updated report by the given deadline, or if the report is rejected, the summer practice must be repeated by the student.

This form is provided along with the summer practice guide. At the end of the practice, one copy of these forms is sent directly to: a. the Registrar's Office by registered mail, or b. the coordinating faculty member via email, or It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the report is delivered to the University.
