PS Region Value

Create a Placement Region Value

Process Overview

Only Placement Administrators have access to enter, update, or correct Placement Region values. If you are not a Placement Administrator, send an email request to your Placement Administrator.

Region values are an attribute of Location data (geographical/mailing information about a Placement Provider). Where applicable, the Region values are selected by students in the Preference Recording process to define geographical preferences for placement, and are subsequently involved in the Automatic Allocation process.

Warning: Prior to creating a new Region value, you must first perform a thorough search of the existing Region values to ensure the required value does not already exist (this prevents duplicate values). Only create a new Region value if you fail to find an existing value for the Region.
