Clinical Placement Office

The Clinical Placement Office at the Seneca Nanji Foundation School of Nursing is responsible for coordinating and managing clinical placements across all School of Nursing programs.

The office works closely with hospitals, long-term care facilities and community healthcare organizations to secure clinical learning opportunities that align with program requirements and learning outcomes.

The Clinical Placement Office oversees placement requests, coordinates student assignments, manages placement availability and communicates placement information to students and clinical partners. The office also manages the placement process through HSPnet and works with clinical agencies to address placement-related matters.

All clinical placements are arranged exclusively through the Clinical Placement Office. Students are not permitted to arrange their own placements, contact clinical agencies directly regarding placement assignments or exchange placements with other students.

Students should direct all questions or concerns regarding clinical placement assignments to the Clinical Placement Office at clinicalrequirements@senecapolytechnic.ca .

Affiliation Agreements

Seneca Polytechnic and the practicum partners maintain signed affiliation agreements where students are placed. This contractual agreement describes the relationship that exists between the parties, as well as their respective obligations and responsibilities. The agreement outlines the terms under which the agency will accept students into its practicum area. Each agreement recognizes that the agency has its own unique policies and regulations and expects both faculty and students to function in accordance with them. Once signed, the agency is listed in Seneca Polytechnic’s Liability Insurance Policy, which covers bodily injury, property damage, and malpractice to specific limits outlined by the policy.
