Selecting and entering your preferences on SONIA:

         Always put 3 preferences. If you dont you will have more of a chance of being allocated to a placement that you may not like.

         Agencies remain visible throughout the preference selection process. This means there may be many students who have each put a preference for a particular agency, which might reduce your chances for that agency. By selecting some of the more unusual agencies, you maximise your chances of being allocated one of your preferences.

         Be sure youre happy to go to any of your 3 preferences.  If you are finally allocated an agency from your preferences, you are required to go to that agency.  You cannot change your mind later, so choose your preferences carefully.

         It is possible that agencies may have to cancel a placement at the last minute, or that we have to shuffle students a bit to accommodate everyone. Wait until you get a confirming email from the Clinical Placement Administrator to tell you what your final allocation is.

         Occasionally a very small percentage of students do not get allocated one of their preferences, and a small percentage of agencies may not be allocated a student. The course coordinator will have to allocate the student. While your preferences will be taken into account, and some attempt to shuffle other allocations to meet everyones wishes will be undertaken, the final allocation responsibility will be taken by the coordinator.

         If you are un able to view a  venue it may be because you have already visited this site or its associated practices.
