The U-M SSW has developed plans to address temporary disruption to students' social work field placements due to local, state or national emergencies or events. If students are advised or required by their field site, the university, and/or local, state or federal governments to restrict travel and stay home, or if safety concerns warrant a temporary disruption in field placement, students should immediately consult with BOTH their field faculty and their field instructor(s).

In efforts to fulfill the student's field education requirements and educational competencies during temporary field placement disruption, OFE, in collaboration with the field site, will assist in providing alternative field learning activities that can be completed remotely or off site.
