The practicum-related documents and forms below will be used by students before and during practicum. For further information about the steps to advance to practicum, please see the Practicum page.

CMHC Practicum Hour Log

One practicum hour log should be submitted once a week to your site supervisor for approval. If you are at two practicum sites, submit a separate hour log for each site every week.

Once you begin tracking your hours on this form at the beginning of the week, Etrieve will automatically save the form as a draft when you exit without submitting it. Throughout the week, you can update your practicum hour totals on the same form by accessing the draft in your Drafts section. Once you have your practicum hour totals for the week entered, you can submit the form for approval. Once submitted, your site supervisor will receive an email with a link to your submitted form.

CMHC Practicum Placement Form

All Clinical Mental Health Counseling students who are advancing to practicum for the first time or continuing in a practicum placement are asked to complete this form to indicate whether they have a potential or confirmed practicum site each semester.

Practicum Site Agreement Form

Once your practicum site supervisor is confirmed and your site has been approved, you will provide your site supervisor with the Practicum Site Agreement Form link to complete (http://forms.office.com/r/V5fG6Q2LDc). By completing the form, your site supervisor is verifying that they agree to take part in your practicum experience for a designated period of time. It also sets the understanding between the University of Redlands School of Education and your site supervisor for the semester.

CMHC Practicum Goals

It is recommended that this form be completed during your initial meeting. You should work with your site supervisor to develop a minimum of three goals that are based on the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) Statutes and Regulations and/or American Counseling Association (ACA) Professional Standards and appropriate to both your needs and the needs of the practicum site.

Permission to Record Form

This Informed Consent form is used to obtain permission to audio/video record your client(s). You should provide this form after disclosing to each client that you are a Counselor in Training.

CMHC Final Evaluation

Initiate the final evaluation by completing the Counselor Trainee Final Evaluation of Practicum Site section. Once you submit the form, connect with your site supervisor to ensure they complete their portion of the evaluation. Please inform them that they will receive an email to complete the evaluation. If you are completing your practicum at two different sites, please complete a separate evaluation for each site.
