School Counseling Track Students:
Prior to applying for field placement you may discuss with your principal or district Guidance Coordinator the possibility of completing your field placement within your own school or district. However, your placement will not be final until it has been approved by the Department's Director of Training & Placement.

Community Counseling Track Students
(and school counseling students seeking a community placement):
Prior to applying for field placement you should review the Field Site List, which contains descriptions and information about frequently used community field sites. All sites in the Field Site List have been approved by the Department of Counseling and are familiar with our standards and requirements.
