Advising Process
Application for Clinical Internship Timeline: Clinical 1 fieldwork must be applied for the semester before. Application dates for fall and spring are provided at the link here. An application is not needed for Clinical 2.
*This Academic Advisors page is current up to Fall 2023. We are currently working hard to update with the most recent/up to date information to help you support your students. If you have a time sensitive question, please email coepo@kean.edu Thank you.
In addition to supporting students through the advising process specific to which courses a student should take and when, preparing your students for Clinical I and Clinical II field placements can take a lot of time and attention. Below are factors to consider when identifying whether or not your advisee is eligible to apply for Clinical Field Placement:
Did they pass the necessary PRAXIS examinations for Clinical I and/or Clinical II?
Are they active in or have they already completed the appropriate prerequisite courses with the required minimum passing grade?
Are they in a declared education major?
Do they have a 3.0 GPA?
Students eligible for Clinical I in the fall semester will receive an application mid to late March. Students eligible for Clinical I in the spring semester will receive an application early November.
Students who are eligible for Clinical II do not need to apply. The Office of Student Placement and Clinical Experiences will automatically coordinate a placement for the upcoming term pending all other requirements are met to advance.
If a student, who is eligible for Clinical I field placement, does not receive an application by the published dates, they should email Ms. Karen Grove at coepo@kean.edu to request an application. Once approved, an application will be launched to the student through Anthology/Chalk & Wire.
