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

Tell us your UT Tyler program and where you live. A placement advisor replies with preceptor and site options in your community that fit your UT Tyler course.
The service
UT Tyler Preceptor is an independent placement service for UT Tyler (UT Tyler) nursing students. We search for preceptors and clinical sites in a student's own community that fit the student's UT Tyler course, prepare preceptor and site information the student can put forward through UT Tyler's process, and help find a replacement if a preceptor steps away.
UT Tyler does not run this service, and the information on this site is not an official UT Tyler statement. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean UT Tyler Preceptor, and "you" means the person using the site or the service.
UT Tyler's role and final approval
UT Tyler faculty approve every preceptor and clinical site, the Clinical Coordinator clears them, and UT Tyler gives the final approval in every case. UT Tyler's catalog, program handbooks, courses and faculty set the rules for your program.
Where anything on this site or in our communications differs from UT Tyler's current requirements, UT Tyler'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 UT Tyler 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 UT Tyler's approval.
Your responsibilities
You remain responsible for meeting UT Tyler's requirements and deadlines, whether or not we are helping you. In particular, you are responsible for:
- submitting the documentation UT Tyler asks for, including your Self-Placement Request, Exxat compliance items and any facility documents, before clinical hours begin;
- holding an active, unencumbered RN license in every state where you are licensed, and a license valid where your clinical site is;
- completing background checks, drug screens, health clearance, immunizations and any site requirements before patient contact;
- completing clinical hours as your course requires, logging them accurately and following each site's rules;
- staying in contact with your course faculty, your program coordinator and UT Tyler's Clinical Coordinator;
- 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 UT Tyler's own tuition and fees, are separate from our fee. UT Tyler's own requirements, such as background checks, drug testing and insurance, are separate from our fee.

Our guides summarize UT Tyler's public catalog, program pages, syllabi, clinical policies, Texas rules and other official sources as of the date shown on each page.

Sending us your details means you consent to our contacting you about your inquiry 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, UT Tyler Preceptor is not liable for losses that arise from the decisions of UT Tyler, 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.
