During Internship, students typically spend 18-22 hours per week at their site. It is extremely important to monitor hours on a weekly basis to provide reasonable pacing and ensure hours are accumulated at an appropriate rate. During clinical placement, students are enrolled in the following courses: HSC 533 (Practicum), HSC 581 (Internship I), HSC 582 (Internship II), and/or HSC 585X (Internship Extension). More information on Practicum and Internship can be

Students must be covered by professional liability insurance while engaged in field placement. Students are responsible for obtaining their own insurance and must provide proof of insurance to their NLU Seminar Leader prior to enrollment in any of their field placement courses: HSC 533, HSC 581, HSC 582, and/or HSM 585X. The student must also upload this Proof of Liability coverage into his or her Tevera account for documentation. Students failing to provide proof of insurance coverage will not be allowed to participate at their practicum/internship site and will be dropped from their field placement courses. Some options for obtaining counseling liability insurance are listed below: •American Counseling Association (ACA) offers graduate student membership for counseling students. The cost of membership allows students to obtain liability insurance through HPSO at a reduced cost.
