Notes About Clinical Agencies

General

Students are strongly encouraged to have clinical agencies sign the standard Ball State University affiliation agreement. If that is not possible, students are advised that the review, revision, negotiation, and signing of a non-BSU affiliation agreement can significantly lengthen the time required to approve a clinical placement. As such, students are encouraged to start making tentative arrangements for clinicals approximately one semester in advance. To further counter the possibility that negotiations between BSU and a clinical agency may not produce a usable affiliation agreement, students are additionally encouraged to cultivate, well in advance, a possible back-up clinical agency for every semester.
