InPlace - Submit placement block preferences

A placement block is the block of time that you're allocated to go out on placement, although you may not necessarily be on placement every day in the block.

Some courses or subjects may offer students a range of placement blocks to choose from, and require you to submit your preferences for them. A Placement Block Preferences task appears in the To Do list on your Home page when preferences are open.

Note: You can change your placement block preferences after you’ve submitted them if the closing date hasn’t passed yet.

1. In the To Do list on your Home page click the Placement Block Preferences task.
