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

Tell us your UCCS program and where you live. A placement advisor replies with the preceptor and site options that fit your UCCS course.
The service
UCCS Preceptor is an independent placement service for the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS) nursing students. We search for preceptors and clinical sites that fit a student's UCCS course, prepare preceptor and site information for the student's submission to UCCS, and help find a replacement if a preceptor steps away.
UCCS does not run this service, and the information on this site is not an official UCCS statement. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean UCCS Preceptor, and "you" means the person using the site or the service.
UCCS's role and final approval
UCCS's College of Nursing faculty and clinical placement staff approve every clinical site and preceptor its students use, and UCCS gives the final approval in every case. UCCS's catalog, program pages, course syllabi and faculty set the rules for your program.
Where anything on this site or in our communications differs from UCCS's current requirements, UCCS'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 UCCS 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 UCCS's approval.
Your responsibilities
You remain responsible for meeting UCCS's requirements and deadlines, whether or not we are helping you. In particular, you are responsible for:
- submitting the documentation UCCS asks for, including preceptor and site details and your clinical compliance items, 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 UCCS's own tuition and fees, are separate from our fee.
Information on this site
Our guides summarize UCCS'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 UCCS's rules can change. Check your syllabus, UCCS's clinical guidance 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, UCCS Preceptor is not liable for losses that arise from the decisions of UCCS, 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.
