The placement process depends on whether you live more than one hour from Ann Arbor. Students residing over one hour from Ann Arbor require a longer placement timeline, typically 6-8 months, and therefore need to begin the placement process earlier than peers living within one hour of the School. Local online students living within an hour of campus typically start the placement process about four months in advance. The field office will contact online students with relevant placement information after you accept your admission offer and throughout your time in the program.
