A. Signing Up for Clinical Opportunities:
1. Start by choosing the clinical class from the Show Opportunities For Class dropdown. Use the search tools if you are looking for a specific date or session(s). The Category Selection tab allows you to narrow down options by hours category, and the View Hours Progress tab shows your current hours progress. (See below for more details on tabs and search filters)
2. Click Sign-Up for the opportunity you would like to attend.
3. Review the opportunity details, then confirm your registration by clicking the blue Sign Up button. Depending on the settings and type of opportunity, the steps can vary.
Auto Accept: If the opportunity is set to auto-accept, then the opportunity will automatically appear in your 'My Opportunities' Upcoming tab.
Opportunity Requests: If the clinical opportunity is set to require review, once it is approved, you will see it on the 'Upcoming' tab of the 'My Opportunities' page. This option also lets students add a message to their request if they want.
Restricted Access: Some clinical sites are restricted and require additional information before you can attend. When you click 'Sign Up,' the Request Site Access page will pop up instead. Provide the required documents, then click Request Authorization. Once access is approved, you can then sign up for opportunities on the site.
Shared Sites: (Selectable) If the time for the opportunity is Selectable, you will need to select a time for your opportunity. Select the day you would like to attend, how long you would like to attend, and click the time you would like the opportunity to start. If there is no option or none that works for you, click Find Next Available Date to see the next time the clinical site has an opening.
