Applying to the Clinics
Clinic Chart
Here you will find all of the application requirements and information about selection processes for each clinic offered in Spring 2010, including prerequisite or co-requisite course requirements and course recommendations. You must have taken the prerequisite in order to apply, unless you have received permission from the clinic’s professor for a waiver.
As indicated on the chart below, some clinics offer you the option of registering for a set numbers of credits, from within an authorized range of credits. Other clinics do not offer this option and require a specific credit level. If you are selected for a spring semester clinic, you may register only for a number of credits authorized for that clinic.
The information below tells you whether a particular clinic requires additional application information. If it does, click on the link under additional application requirements to obtain instructions.
The application and all required attachments must be submitted by the deadline: midnight on Thursday, October 22. After submitting your Uniform Clinic Application, you will receive confirmation of your submission.
