Pre-placement
h3
<p>For pre-placement due dates, refer to the field student support portals in Canvas course for due dates.</p>
<h4>Pre-field orientation</h4>
<p>Students will attend a mandatory pre-placement field orientation session which will cover all aspects of the field placement process and will provide additional details about the required steps below.</p>
<h4>Field application</h4>
<p>Students will submit the following documents no later than the assigned due date through the student field support portal in Canvas:</p>
<ul>
<li>Field Practicum Application</li>
<li>Student Resume (using UNRSSW Field Student Resume template)</li>
<li>Application for Practicum at Place of Employment (*OPTIONAL: only if applicable)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Application Feedback & interview notification</h4>
<p>Students will receive feedback from the Field Education Office via a grade in Canvas of “complete” or “incomplete” on all forms submitted.</p>
<ul>
<li>A response of “complete” will be followed by notification through Canvas to the student regarding the agencies where the students’ resume was sent for interviews.</li>
<li>Students who receive an “incomplete” on any document will be directed to correct and resubmit within <strong>one week</strong> and may not move on in the pre-placement process until a complete package is received.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Agency contacts & interviews</h4>
<p>The Field Education Office will review the Field Application and forward the student’s resume to selected agencies for consideration with notification to the student of which agencies were selected. Students shall not make contact first with the agency as agencies will contact students to schedule interviews, unless specifically directed to do so by the Field Education Office at the request of the agency. Students may not follow up with agencies after interviews, with the exception of a brief call/email thanking the interviewer for their time. Agencies are asked to return interview lists by a designated date with the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li>The number of students the agency is able to accept</li>
<li>A ranking of students interviewed based on interview performance, fit with the agency’s mission, services and culture</li>
<li>Important feedback for the student and/or Field Education Office</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Placement confirmation</h4>
<p>The Field Education Office will review all agency responses against student preferences and reserve the right to make the final placement decision. Agency capacity, rankings, and feedback will be given priority over student preference due to the significant contributions made by field agencies and their staff throughout the placement year. Each student will receive an email notification confirming the selected field placement and instructing the student to contact the agency to begin any “pre-hire” paperwork.</p>
