Terms of service
These terms apply when you use this site or ask Ohio Preceptor to help with a clinical placement. By using the site or our service, you agree to them. Please read them alongside your Ohio University program's own requirements.

Tell us your Ohio University program and where you live. A placement advisor replies with the preceptor and site options that fit your course.
The service
Ohio Preceptor is an independent placement service for Ohio University nursing students. We search for preceptors and clinical sites that fit a student's Ohio University course, prepare preceptor and site information for the student's submission to Ohio University, and help find a replacement if a preceptor steps away.
Ohio University does not run this service, and the information on this site is not an official Ohio University statement. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean Ohio Preceptor, and "you" means the person using the site or the service.
Ohio University's role and final approval
Ohio University faculty review and approve every preceptor and clinical site its students use, and that approval is final in every case. Ohio University's catalog, program pages, Nursing Knowledge Center, course syllabi and faculty set the rules for your program.
Where anything on this site or in our communications differs from Ohio University's current requirements, Ohio University's requirements apply.
No promise of placement, approval or dates
We work hard to find a suitable preceptor and site for you. We do not promise that one will be found, that one will be found by a particular date, that Ohio University will approve a site or preceptor we identify, or that you will start or finish any course or program on a particular timetable.
Preceptors and sites make their own decisions and may change or withdraw their availability at any time, including after Ohio University's approval.
Your responsibilities
You remain responsible for meeting Ohio University's requirements and deadlines, whether or not we are helping you. In particular, you are responsible for:
- submitting the documentation Ohio University asks for, including anything Ohio University asks you to upload to Typhon, on time;
- holding an active, unencumbered RN license wherever a practicum site is located;
- completing background checks, drug screens, health clearance, immunizations and any site requirements before patient contact;
- logging hours and encounters accurately and following each site's rules;
- staying in contact with your program and course faculty;
- giving us accurate information and telling us promptly about any change.
Fees
Our fees are quoted individually, based on your program, course, location and timing, and your quote sets out what it covers. Charges made by a clinical site or other third party, and Ohio University's own tuition and fees, are separate from our fee. Ohio University's MSN FAQ notes that fees may apply when large hospital systems run their own preceptor assignment.
Information on this site
Our guides summarize Ohio University's public catalog, program pages and other official sources as of the date shown on each page. They are general information, not academic, legal or professional advice, and Ohio University's rules can change. Check your syllabus, the Graduate Nursing Student Handbook and your program faculty before relying on any detail.
Communications
Sending us your details means you consent to our contacting you about your enquiry and placement by email, phone call or text message, as our privacy policy describes. Reply STOP to any text to opt out of text messages.
Acceptable use
Please use this site for its intended purpose. Do not submit false information, misuse the forms or chat, or copy the site's content for commercial use without permission.
Limitation of liability
To the extent the law allows, Ohio Preceptor is not liable for losses that arise from the decisions of Ohio University, a preceptor or a clinical site, from delays in approval or course progression, or from reliance on the general information on this site. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have that cannot be limited by law.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms from time to time. Each revision carries a new date at the top of the page. Questions about these terms can be sent through the contact page or the chat.
