For Incoming Con Ed I Students
Program Description
During your first year, you will be enrolled in Contextual Education I unless you enroll in the Teaching Parish or Anglican Studies track. Your first semester of Contextual Education is composed of an Introductory Arts of Ministry course, social service or clinical site placement with four hours of weekly work, and a one hour weekly site supervisor meeting.
Your second semester is composed of four hours of weekly work and a two hour weekly reflection group. Please see the Registrar's curriculum guide for details on academic credit.
Selecting your Site Preference
In early summer, you will be sent an email with instructions and information notifying you to submit the online Contextual Education I Site Preference Form. The online preference form is open through the month of June. If the preference form is not completed by the deadline, you will be randomly assigned to a site.
If you are a Teaching Parish student or an Anglican Studies student, when filling out the "Con Ed I Setting Preference Form" check Teaching Parish or Anglican Studies.
EMPL ID
EMPL ID is your Emory student ID number. This distinct number may be used to allow you to register for classes, pay bills, check grades, etc. or to answer financial aid questions. If you don't know your EMPL ID, access your OPUS account. Your name and EMPL ID will be in the top left corner.
Assignments
You will be assigned to either a clinical or social site based on your online submission. While every effort will be made to honor your request, we cannot guarantee your preference. In early August, your Contextual Education assignment and course schedule will be available on OPUS. (Prior to August, only partial schedules will be visible.)
