Practicum ◊ Practicum Insurance

Student Liability Insurance

Students enrolled in practicum are required to register for liability insurance coverage during their practicum experience with a minimum coverage of $2,000,000.   This insurance is necessary to protect you from any claims which may arise from your professional services while you are a student.  In order to qualify for this insurance, you will need to be a member of your chosen organization.  Students may use any carrier they choose, provided they meet the minimum coverage and provided that they can show proof of coverage prior to the beginning of practicum. 

Insurance may be acquired through counseling associations such as: APA (www.apa.org), ACA (www.counseling.org) or ASCA (www.schoolcounselor.org).  The easiest way to apply for the insurance is on-line.
