Welcome

COVID-19 Infection and Exposure

Students are required to report any COVID infection and exposure that will impact attendance for clinical placement, clinical laboratory or class. Please complete the self-selectable 2022 WIL COVID-19 Reporting form available under the Forms tab, once you have logged into Sonia Online.

This is the Placement system used by the Social Sciences Program at the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Once you have logged into Sonia Online, your School homepage will become active. From here you can access information relating to your Placement including:

  • your placement details;
  • Forms and information for Mandatory Requirements;
  • Reminders and important dates;
  • Electronic forms;
  • Facility information;
  • Selecting placement group preferences;
  • Uploading and viewing documentation.

Mandatory checks

You need to ensure that you have completed the following mandatory requirements. If you have experienced extreme circumstances resulting in a delay to submit any requirements, it is essential you advise the Fit for Placement Office as soon as possible by emailing ffpo@usc.edu.au.

You can view the status of your mandatory checks in Sonia Online > Checks. Sonia Online is your placement information source.

PrePlace

PrePlace is a series of three online modules located on Canvas that you must complete once, prior to your placement. Enrolment to PrePlace is an automated process, so is directly related to your course enrolment. If you are not yet officially enrolled in a placement course, the auto process cannot be triggered.

Once you enrol in your placement course the process will happen overnight and PrePlace will then be available to you.

Other Mandatory Checks

Depending on the requirements of your host site, other site-specific mandatory checks may apply. These will be communicated to you throughout the pre-placement process. Other checks may include National Police Checks, Blue Cards, vaccination requirements and others.
