Clinicals
All teacher education candidates take part in early clinical experiences interacting with teachers and students in various schools in the area. The Office of School and Community Partnerships coordinates clinical placement arrangements for candidates located within 50 miles of campus. Placements are arranged through an online system called Sonia.

Signing up for Clinicals & Troubleshooting Tips:
- Students will sign-in to the clinical portal Sonia using the provided link.
- If students get the message that “No more slots are available” that means that someone signed-up for the last available slot at the school. Students should not contact the school or try to arrange clinicals at schools where we do not have existing slots.
