Class of 2026 Campus Assignment Request

Please be aware of the following regarding the initial clinical campus assignment process:

1. The Student Affairs Committee (SAC) is responsible for finalizing incoming students' clinical campus assignments.
2. Every effort is made to assign students to their preferred clinical campuses. We typically receive, however, MANY more requests for initial assignment to a Lubbock based clinical campus than there are spaces available (due to per campus limits).
3. Initial clinical campus assignment for an over requested campus is done by random lottery (based on a student's indicated preference to be placed at the over requested clinical campus).
4. Situations given priority consideration for assignment to a specific clinical campus include:
   1. Non-temporary employment of a spouse or partner:
   2. Spouse or partner enrolled in an educational program that requires in-person attendance and is expected to continue into the academic year in which the student will be starting the clinical curriculum;
   3. Child formally enrolled in a daily childcare program or local school district during the academic year in which the student will be starting the clinical curriculum;
   4. Physical or mental health condition requiring ongoing care, the equivalent of which is not available at another clinical campus;
5. Home purchased by student or first degree relative (e.g. spouse, parent, sibling) before August 1 of the calendar year prior to   the student's year of matriculation into the SOM.
   
   *Supporting documentation for any of the listed situations is expected.
   **Verification of Significant Other Relationship form is additionally expected.
   Supporting documents should be emailed to Jennifer Acevedo   jennifer.acevedo@ttuhsc.edu
   
   
6. Purchasing a house following acceptance into the SOM is not a factor considered by the SAC for assignment to a specific clinical campus.

This form and the supporting documentation should be completed by May 20, 2022
