***PLACEMENT MATCHING – IMPORTANT***
SELF-INITIATING A PLACEMENT
Students who chose to self-initiate a placement must ensure that the proposed placement meets the following guidelines:
● The placement meets academic and career goals;
● The scope of the role and associated responsibilities are appropriate for the level of study;
● Placement host contact information is available;
● Placement host is an acceptable mentor, available to guide and support student throughout the duration of the 50 hour requirement;
● Placement host is not immediately related to the student;
● Placement is an unpaid position;
● The student is not employed, or has not been employed with proposed placement location;
● The student has not already completed a placement with the proposed agency or group unless there is clear evidence the opportunity will be a new/different experience and will allow the student to gain additional competencies;
● Placement demonstrates a benefit not only to the student, but to the community in fulfilling a true organizational need.
GETTING APPROVED
Placements can only begin once Clearance Documents, Request Forms and Agreement forms have been submitted and reviewed. A confirmation email from the Placement Officer confirming documentation completion will be sent to the student and Placement Host. Once that email has been sent, placement involvement can begin. Any hours completed prior to receiving confirmation from the Placement Officer, will not count toward the 50 hour requirement.
Placements are not finalized until Request Forms are submitted to the coordinator for review and have been approved. CLICK HERE to access a Self-Initiating Guide outlining best practices.
REQUEST FORMS
Request Forms are required by all placement hosts to show their interest in hosting a Bachelor of Physical and Health Education student either virtually or in person for the academic year. Request Form Click Here
If an appropriate match with one of our students is made, Placement Hosts will be asked to complete the CLP Evaluation Form once the student has completed the 50 hour requirement. – Click Here
AGREEMENT FORMS
Once a placement has been approved by the Placement Coordinator, the Student and Supervising Host will be instructed to complete the CLP Agreement Form – Click Here. This form also summarizes the main duties and responsibilities of both the student and host, and it is trusted that all expectations will be reviewed thoroughly.
TIME SHEETS
Students and Placement Hosts are responsible for ensuring 50 hours of work placement is achieved. The Time Tracking Sheet will assist in monitoring the progress of placement and is to be submitted to the Placement Coordinator upon completion.
