How to Change a Student's Clinical Site Location
Student clinical site locations can be updated by the student themselves or by a school account.
Option 1: Student Updates Their Own Location
In most CompKeepr configurations, students can update their own clinical location:
- Have the student log into CompKeepr
- They go to Account Info or My Location
- Select the new clinical site from the dropdown
- Save changes
This is the quickest method if your program allows student self-service.
Option 2: School Account Updates the Location
If a school administrator needs to change it:
- Go to the Students section
- Find and click on the student
- Look for Location or Clinical Site in their profile
- Select the new location from the dropdown
- Save the changes
Note: Clinical Instructors cannot update student locations — only students or school accounts can make this change.
Important Notes
- Past evaluations are not affected — changing the location only affects future evaluations
- Preceptors are tied to locations — when the student changes location, they will see different preceptors in their dropdown
- Location history — some programs track location history for reporting purposes
The Location I Need Is Not in the List
If the clinical site is not available in the dropdown:
- An administrator may need to add the new location to the system
- Check with your program coordinator or CompKeepr administrator
- Contact support if you need a new location added
