Under some circumstances students may find it necessary to alter their field education sequence. Students wishing an out-of-sequence schedule that differs from the field education schedule connected to their curriculum track must complete a petition form at https://ssw.umich.edu/my-ssw/field-instruction-forms/incoming-students/special-placement-deadlines .

Any student who changes their curriculum schedule for field education such that it does not follow the field education schedule of their curriculum track must submit an Out-of-Sequence Petition, indicating the reasons for the requested change. Such a petition must be signed by the field faculty and signed and approved by the director of field education.

Petition forms must be submitted at the earliest date possible when a change is requested.
