Create a New Site

Process Overview

Placement Administrators and Placement Officers are able to create and update Site records, and Placement Administrators are able to correct Site records (when required).

Warning: Prior to creating a new Site record, you must first perform a thorough search of the existing Site records to ensure the required Site does not already exist in Medici. Only create a new Site record if you fail to find an existing record for the Site.

Sites represent a department or business unit of an Organisation, based at a specific Location of an Organisation. It is at Sites that Placements occur.

In addition to the Site’s basic details (eg. Organisation, Location, Phone Number, etc), the following details can also be recorded for the Site (if applicable):

- UniSA Custodian

- Conditions

- Pay Claim Details

- Site Orientation Information

UniSA Custodian

The UniSA Custodian is the ‘owner’ of the Site. If it is discovered that a Site’s details are incorrect or out of date, contact the UniSA Custodian (do not update a Site’s details prior to liaising with the Site’s UniSA Custodian).

Conditions

Sites may have Conditions that will apply to all students undertaking a Placement at the Site.

Conditions attached to a Site are in excess of the Conditions attached to a Program or Course, or Conditions attached to the Organisation; therefore the student must satisfy all conditions imposed at Program/Course level, Organisation and Site. Where a Condition is repeated across the spectrum (eg. the same Condition is recorded for the Site and also Program, Course and/or Organisation), the student must ensure they satisfy all aspects of currency requirements from all sources (if applicable). In this instance the student will be required to satisfy all instances of the Condition, and myPlacement will display the instance that imposes the greatest impact (Currency).

When a Site Condition is added, the Condition Type must be selected as follows:

- Compulsory: The Condition must be satisfied for the student to be eligible for Placement, and evidence to satisfy the Condition will be processed by UniSA Placement staff.

- Additional: The Condition is not considered ‘Compulsory’ by UniSA, and UniSA Placement staff will not be responsible for processing evidence to satisfy the Condition. The Site may consider the Condition to be mandatory and will be responsible for processing the student’s evidence; or it may be that students are encouraged to satisfy the Condition, however the University is unable to enforce the Condition.

Pay Claim Details

Site Contacts may be able to claim payment for supervising UniSA students on Placement. Where applicable, a Site’s Pay Claim Details can be recorded as ‘Default Rate for All’, indicating all Site Contacts will receive the same rate of payment, or different Pay Claim Details can be entered for different Contact Types.

Site Orientation Information

It is highly recommended that Site Orientation Information be entered for the Site. This information is displayed to students.

Step by Step Instructions
