• Select your course code and the session, and then click Search.

• Click on the placement titles to read the placement descriptions. Please ensure you carefully read the description in full to make sure you meet the requirements and that placements correspond to your preferences (e.g. in-person vs. virtual).

Contact your placement supervisor and begin your placement 

• Once you’ve selected your placement, you will receive an automatic email with your supervisor’s contact information.
