Field instruction
Information for students
Before you apply for field placement
It’s a good idea to review the list of agencies currently registered with the Office of Field Instruction the semester before you plan to apply. Interviews are required for field placement, and you should prepare for these as if you were applying for a job. Be sure to ask about, and discuss, any requirements the agency may have that you need to complete prior to placement (e.g., TB test, driving test, criminal record check, OSHA training, agency’s human services orientation). Since a number of these processes take weeks to complete, the sooner you interview the better. If for any reason you no longer plan to do field instruction, you must notify the Field Department office immediately.
