Fieldwork placements will typically be conducted from Monday to Friday for a minimum of 37.5 hours a week.
Some placements have evening or weekend hours. Students are expected to minimize other responsibilities during fieldwork in order to concentrate solely on fieldwork education and optimize the learning experience.
It is important to note that students’ non-academic commitments may not be able to be accommodated during fieldwork placement blocks. While on fieldwork, students should expect to do preparatory work in the evenings in addition to regular fieldwork hours. Students should also be prepared to travel anywhere within the University of Toronto’s catchment area to attend their assigned placement site which may entail significant travel time.
