While you are completing your education degree, you will complete a variety of courses that provide hands-on experience in the classroom. Real-life field experiences are a valuable part of your education degree and give you the opportunity to work with students in the classroom. Prior to enrolling in courses with field experiences, certain prerequisites and applications must be completed. Students may not seek their own placements. Please follow all instructions provided below in applying for your field experience placement(s). The forms linked below are either in Adobe Acrobat Reader (.pdf) format or Microsoft Word (.dot or .doc) format and you will need the proper software to view and print them. If you do not have Microsoft Office/Word available on your personal computer, you may complete these forms using an on-campus computer lab. |
Preparing for your Field Experiences

- result of FBI fingerprinting
- result from National Sex Offender Registry

It is best to submit this application before your sophomore year or in the first semester at Aurora University for transfer students, but this application may be submitted at the same time the first field-experience application is submitted. - Receive a passing score on the Basic Skills Test or Test of Academic Proficiency (test-preparation course offered by the College of Education).
- Meet all GPA and course prerequisite requirements of your program before the semester of your placement. Speak with your advisor for more information.
- Submit required field experience application materials by above posted due dates. All applications are available in the tables below. Select the correct form for your Program, major, and desired placement type.
- Student Teachers are required to pass state tests the semester before student teaching.
- Student Teachers complete DCFS Mandated Reporter Training online prior to beginning their placement.
- Some Districts may have additional requirements. Students needing to meet these additional requirements will be notified through their Aurora University email.
