Important Notice to Students Regarding Placement and Practicums
Process needed for students going on placement/practicums.
Where students are undertaking a placement activity in satisfaction of a requirement as part of an approved course of study, prior to being allowed to go on placement, the placement Coordinator will ensure that all of the following requirements have been satisfied.
- The student is enrolled at the University in an approved course of study.
- For insurance purposes, the student is enrolled in the
placement subject.
- Where the placement precedes a teaching period, the student is pre-enrolled.
- Where the placement is subsequent to a teaching period, the student may undertake the placement on a Result Withheld basis.
- Where the completion of the course of study is subject only to the completion of the placement, the Association Services Fee has been paid.
- Fees associated with the subject/placement have been paid to the University either in full or in line with an approved payment scheme.
- The Association Services Fee has been paid thereby ensuring that the student is covered under the Association’s Accident Insurance policy.
- The placement program is recognised as a course-related activity thereby bringing the activity under Public Liability in-service coverage.
