Terms of use
Plain terms for a plain service: we look for preceptors and clinical sites that fit your UTA course, and we help you prepare what UTA asks for. UTA makes the approval decisions.

Who we are
UTA Preceptor is an independent placement service. It is not part of, run by, or endorsed by The University of Texas at Arlington. We use UTA's name to say whose students we work with.
What we do, and what we do not
- We search for preceptors and clinical sites that match your program, course and location, and we help you prepare the documents your course asks for.
- We do not approve placements. UTA reviews and approves every preceptor, site and agreement.
- We cannot promise that a particular preceptor will accept, that a site will sign an agreement by a given date, or that UTA will approve a placement.
- We do not complete coursework, sign documents on anyone's behalf, or log clinical hours for you.
Your part
- Give us accurate information about your program, course, license and location.
- Follow UTA's rules, your course syllabus and your preceptor's site policies.
- Complete your UTA compliance items, such as immunizations and background checks, on UTA's timeline.
Quotes and payment
If you go ahead with a placement, you receive a written quote and terms for your specific track, hours and location before you commit. Those written terms govern payment, changes and refunds for your placement.
Information on this site
Our pages explain UTA's clinical process as we understand it from UTA's own published sources, checked on the date shown on each page. UTA can change its rules at any time. Your current UTA handbook, your course and your faculty have the final word.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including a delayed course or graduation date, arising from a site's, preceptor's or school's decision. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be limited.
Changes
We may update these terms. The version on this page applies from the date it is posted. Questions go through the contact form or the chat.
