Internship and Work-Study Placement, From Site Match to Signed-Off Hours
A placement is more than a match. Compliance documents, logged hours, competency evaluations, and licensure paperwork all attach to the same record, so a lapsed affiliation agreement never quietly disqualifies a placement nobody thought to check twice.

Field placement hours don't count until someone signs off on them
Field placement hours do not count until someone signs off on them, and in a lot of programs that sign-off still happens on a paper timesheet a site supervisor faxes in, if it arrives at all. A nursing student cannot sit for a clinical rotation without a signed affiliation agreement on file, and that agreement renews on its own calendar, not the semester's, so a lapsed one can quietly disqualify a placement nobody thought to check.
Internship and Work-Study Placement Management System matches a student to an approved site, keeps the compliance paperwork current, and captures the hours and evaluations a program, and often a licensing board, actually requires. Affiliation agreements and insurance certificates are tracked to their expiry date with alerts before they lapse, students and site supervisors log hours directly against required totals instead of a paper timesheet, and supervisors complete structured competency evaluations at the checkpoints a program defines. Whatever a state board or accreditor needs for licensure, nursing, teaching, social work, gets captured and stored against the student's record, and a director can see coverage and outstanding evaluations in one place.
What breaks when internship and work-study placement runs on paper and email
Compliance documents expire quietly
An affiliation agreement or insurance certificate lapses and nobody notices until a site calls.
Hours get logged inconsistently
A paper timesheet, a text message, an email, each site supervisor has their own method.
Competency evaluations go missing
The one evaluation a program needs for accreditation purposes is the one that never made it back.
Licensure documentation is assembled at the last minute
Under deadline pressure right before a state board submission.
Six modules. Built for the paperwork a placement actually depends on.
Every module ships with default forms, routing, and dashboards. Configure each one to match how your program runs a placement.
Site and placement matching
Matches a student to an approved internship, practicum, or work-study site against the specific requirement their program sets.
Affiliation agreement and compliance documents
Signed agreements and insurance certificates tracked to their expiry date, with alerts before they lapse.
Hours logging
Students and site supervisors log hours directly against required totals, replacing the paper timesheet a supervisor used to fax in.
Competency evaluation
Site supervisors complete a structured competency evaluation at each checkpoint a program defines, not just once at the end.
Licensure documentation
The specific forms a state board or accreditor requires, nursing, teaching, social work, captured and stored against the student record.
Placement and compliance reporting
Coverage by program, expiring agreements, and outstanding evaluations, all visible in one place instead of three offices.
From request to system of record in four steps
Plan
The placement is recorded against the specific program requirement it needs to satisfy, not a generic internship slot.
Assign
Affiliation agreement, insurance, and background check are collected and tracked to their expiry dates.
Execute
Students and supervisors submit hours and evaluations directly against the placement record.
Close-out
The program-specific forms a state board or accreditor requires are completed before certification.

No. Financial aid processes the award and payroll through its own systems. This app manages the placement, compliance documents, hours logging, and evaluation once a student has been placed at a site.
Whatever a program's licensing board requires, immunization records for a clinical placement, background checks for a teaching placement, or fieldwork logs for a social work placement, configured as program-specific forms.
The compliance module flags it ahead of the expiry date and routes a renewal task to the office responsible, before a site calls to ask.
