Placement at a field study site for clinical training and
education is a requirement of the Counselor Education
master’s program in counseling. Counselor Education faculty
will work with students to identify educationally-appropriate
placements. Students will have up to three opportunities to
successfully interview for a placement. Placements are
chosen by the Counselor Education Program faculty, not by
the student. Students who for any reason are not able to
obtain a placement after three placement site interviews will
be ineligible for field study that academic year, and will not be
allowed to enroll in the field study course. Future eligibility for
field study will be determined by the Counselor Education
faculty.
Each field study student is required to purchase professional
liability insurance. The Field Study student is providing
services to the public and, therefore, runs the risk of having
lawsuits brought against him or her. Students may obtain
liability insurance through a variety of organizations at a low
student rate. Recommended providers include Healthcare
Providers Service Organization (HPSO; www.hpso.com; $21),
CPH & Associates (www.cphins.com; $25), and American
Counseling Association Insurance Trust (ACAIT;
www.acait.com; $35). Students must present a copy of their
Certificate of Insurance to their specialization coordinator
prior to beginning field study.

Student interns shall be professional and act in accordance
and compliance with the laws, counseling values, ethics,
Sacramento State academic standards, and the Counselor
Education program standards. A significant breach of any of
these standards is grounds for immediate dismissal from the
field placement, and potentially the Counselor Education
program.

personally identifiable and non-public. Confidential
Information may be paper-based, electronic, or stored or
transmitted in some other form. It also may include
information that is verbally shared between students, faculty
and students, clients and students, clients and faculty, staff
and students, and staff and faculty.

related HANDBOOKS located on the GPSE website.

and due dates throughout program of studies. Missing
deadlines can impact matriculation and graduation.

passing…communicate directly with your faculty advisor.

announcements.
