Course Enrollment Forms
What is a Course Enrollment Form (CEF)?
Our office uses this form to collect:
- Verification of your eligibility and completion of the Field Study prerequisites
- Your field study course selection (SE195, 195W, 106W), so we know which course we should authorize you for if you are fully eligible.
- Your placement information, so we know where you will be completing your fieldwork hours and which supervisor to contact. (Including Site number, Site Name, and Supervisor Information)
ATTENTION: Do not submit this form if you have NOT received and accepted an official offer from one of our approved placements. A copy of your submission will be sent to the site supervisor you list on the form. Submitting a placement without an official offer is grounds for academic dishonesty.
