How Do I Apply For Field Experience?

To get started with this process, please adhere to the following procedures:​​

​

• If you have a preferred field experience location, please let your instructor know, and they will serve as the contact person for that teacher and their school.

• If you do not have a preference, they can recommend a placement.

• Once your instructor has secured a placement, the Director of Music Education will forward this information to the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD).

• The deadlines for completing this process are

  • September 15th during the Fall semester

  • February 15th during the Spring semester. 

• Once field experience requests have been processed by the local school districts, students will receive an email notification from the CEHD.  It is the students’ responsibility to monitor their email and respond to all directives from the CEHD in a timely manner.

• Please note: The local districts make the final decision on all field experience placements.  As such, there is no guarantee everyone will receive their preferred placement, but everyone will be placed in one of the local schools.
