Off-site Affiliation Agreements

All students are required to meet with the Clinical Director during the first half of the first fall semester to discuss possible internship placements. After learning of an interest, the Clinical Director will contact the site, evaluate its suitability as an internship placement, and arrange for the placement. All internship placements are at the discretion of the Clinical Director. If the site declines to take the student or if the Clinical Director determines that the site is not a suitable internship site, the Clinical Director will notify the student and the student will need to provide the name of an alternative possible internship site. Only one site will be contacted at a time and once a suitable site is agreed upon that site will be set up for each student unless the site needs to withdraw its availability. Once this process begins students are not able to request a change of site.


Students can consider an internship placement outside the Southwest Michigan area since the program has affiliation agreements in many states. Once students receive official notification of clinical placements, changes are not permitted and will not be accommodated. For additional information please review the Graduate Student Handbook.
