Students are responsible to seek out their own placements with information that is provided to them by the field placement faculty. Urban and reserve placements are available to all students, depending on their preference, family situation and future goals. Many of our students come from other provinces and the territories, and choose to do their field placement in their home community. This means extensive travel for our faculty supervisors, but because of our national scope as an institution we support and accommodate these placements. A minimum of two visits are made by the faculty supervisors, unless students are at a great distance, and then one visit of longer duration is held.
Students return to our campus twice during field placements for practicum seminars.
Their placement supervisors are also a part of those sessions. Again, exceptions are made for students who do their field placements at a great distance, and they must arrange to be in attendance for one of those seminars.
