After receiving approval from the sponsoring school, the student may contact the supervisor for an interview. The student and the site bear mutual responsibility to assure that students from the sponsoring school have also had an opportunity to interview for the position. If the student and the site decide that they will work together, they must officially notify both schools of their decision. The student and supervisor will file the required document with the sponsoring school, which will respond to them in its normal fashion and forward copies of the documents and responses to the student s home school. The student incurs no additional tuition liability in serving in another school s field education site.
All tuition is paid to the student s home school.
If a student from another school wishes to serve in such a site, the student and those in charge of field education at the student s home school will decide on the procedures to follow. Nonetheless, as a courtesy and to avoid confusion, it is recommended that the school whose students usually serve the site be informed of the intentions, plans, and decisions. This procedure has been worked out and agreed upon By the Directors of Field Education of the member Schools of the Boston Theological Institute. Student arranges interview with BU STH Director of Field Education and receives a permission form to be delivered to Field Education Director of chosen BTI school. After placement, student follows BU STH procedure for due dates and administrative details.
