Things to Keep in Mind When Deciding on Location
  • You must be able to secure your own
    transportation.
  • Please be flexible! The district makes placement
    decisions based on the availability of eligible
    site counselors and school district needs.
  • School districts not only have to place counselor
    interns, but other education-related
    professionals too.

15

    required coursework prior to internship (39
    credits)

    Techniques) (Lab)

    internship
  • Register for the Internship in School Counseling
    course (863.820). Registration occurs in July for
    the fall semester and November for the spring
    semester. Be prepared to settle tuition costs for
    your internship course each semester. Students
    will be informed of their course section, day and
    time so they may settle their tuition costs.

16
Other Requirements Prior to Internship

    ensure that it will remain active throughout the
    course of your internship experience. (Available

    field experiences coordinator of any changes to
    your email address, address or phone numbers. Be
    sure to also update your contact information in

Important Reminders!
  • The Field Experience Coordinator is the liaison
    between the University and districts for
    internship placements. Students should not
    contact the district directly regarding
    placement.
  • Students who are teachers or para-educators may
    not complete internships at their
    schools-of-employment .
  • Be sure to contact your employer regarding leave
    requirements. This is usually your HR dept.

Answers to FAQs
  • Working and Doing Internship
  • Internship requires students to be on-site at
    least two days a week as well as attend their
    weekly 2-hour internship class and fulfill the
    requirements of the course. The extent to which
    you can work and satisfy the internship
    requirements depends on the flexibility of your
    job schedule and other commitments in your life.
    Also be sure to check with your employer re any
    leave requirements.
  • Changing District or Grade Levels
  • Once applications are sent to the districts, you
    cannot change what district or level you wish to
    apply to. Think carefully about this before you
    submit your application!

19
Answers to FAQs cont
  • Changing Semesters
  • If applications have not yet been mailed out to
    the districts, then yes, you can change the
    semester(s) you will complete your internship in.
    However, if applications have already been sent,
    you must contact the JHU Counseling Dept.
    Director for approval. Special circumstances with
    your work schedule may require you to change how
    many semesters or in which semester you will
    complete internship.
  • Changing School Placements
  • Placement changes are not permitted , except for
    health or disability concerns.
  • When You Can Start
  • You may begin accruing hours at your site 1 week
    prior to the start of the JHU academic semester
    with permission from your site supervisor. These
    can only be indirect hours. Direct hours may
    begin once your internship class starts.

20
When Will I Find Out Where Im Placed?
  • Anytime between the end of May and August 30th I
    may be receiving placement decisions from the
    various school districts. It depends on how soon
    your applications are received and how soon
    districts can confirm site supervisor
    availability.
  • As soon as I receive placement decisions from the
    school districts, I will send you an email with
    details regarding
  • School, Address, Phone
  • Principals name
  • Site Supervisors name and email
  • You can then contact your site supervisor to
    establish a schedule that is compatible with
    theirs, and that assures that you will be able to
    complete your required hours.
