Fieldwork ◊ Insurance

Student Liability Insurance

Students enrolled in fieldwork are mandated to register for liability insurance during their fieldwork 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 beginning field placement

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