****Placements are requested of districts by CWU, but are made/decided upon by districts. Placements will be made available to students as district decisions are made known to CWU. Please be aware that district personnel and your University Field Supervisor work very hard to secure timely placements. Your priorities regarding knowing your placement and district priorities in making them may not be the same. Your patience is appreciated.
