CampusBRIDGE Information

Getting Started With CampusBRIDGE

Before you can create a KSR practicum posting, your agency must have an active CampusBRIDGE account. A CampusBRIDGE login is required to submit and manage practicum postings, review student applications, schedule interviews, rank candidates, and confirm placements through the KSR placement process.

If your agency does not yet have a CampusBRIDGE account, please create one as early as possible to avoid delays in the recruitment process.

Create a CampusBRIDGE Account

To create a KSR practicum posting, your agency must first register for a CampusBRIDGE employer account.

  • Visit campusbridge.ualberta.ca
  • Select Employer Login, then choose Sign Up
  • Submit your organization’s required details
  • Allow up to two business days for account approval

Requirements for Practicum Posting Approval

To ensure each practicum provides a high quality, supervised learning experience, all practicum placements must be reviewed and approved by the Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation. To be approved as a practicum placement, agencies must:

  • Provide a clear description of student responsibilities and hour distribution
  • Outline expected projects or deliverables
  • Create a competency profile including required skills and qualifications
  • Assign a qualified supervisor, with the option for multiple supervisors if appropriate
  • Designate one Agency Supervisor who is responsible for performance feedback, communication with the KSR PEXL Lead, and providing a safe and supportive learning environment

Recruiting a Practicum Student

  1. Submit a Practicum Description to CampusBRIDGE

    Agencies are encouraged to submit or update their practicum description during the term prior to the practicum placement. This posting is required within the first month of the academic term. Postings should include the role description, expected hours, deliverables, and supervisor information.

    Create Your Practicum Posting

    Once your CampusBRIDGE account is approved, you can create your practicum posting for KSR students.

    • Select Practicum, Faculty of Kinesiology, Sport, and Recreation
    • Complete the required fields, including title, description, responsibilities, supervision, duration, and schedule
    • Submit the posting for approval

  2. Students Review Postings

    Eligible fourth year students browse CampusBRIDGE to explore practicum opportunities that align with their learning goals and professional interests.

  3. Students Apply

    Students submit applications through CampusBRIDGE, typically including a résumé, cover letter, and any additional materials requested in the posting.

  4. Agency Reviews Applications

    Agency supervisors review applications and assess each student’s experience, skills, and fit with the practicum role. Students who are moving forward in the selection process must be marked as Selected for Interview in CampusBRIDGE before an interview can be scheduled and ranking can occur.Discuss the Details

  5. Conduct Interviews

    Agencies contact shortlisted students to schedule interviews. Interviews may be held virtually or in person. Agencies are encouraged to interview all applicants whenever possible; however, we recognize that application volumes can be high, and agencies may choose to interview only shortlisted candidates. Agencies are encouraged to use consistent questions to support a fair and effective selection process.

  6. Rank Candidates in CampusBRIDGE

    Agencies submit a ranked list based on interview performance and overall fit. Agencies rank students based on the number of practicum placements available. For example, if there is one placement opportunity, students should be ranked 1, 2, 3, 4, and not ranked. If there are two placement opportunities, agencies may rank two students as 1, then rank remaining students as 2, 3, 4, and not ranked.

  7. Offers Are Sent to Top Ranked Candidates

    CampusBRIDGE automatically sends an offer to the number one ranked student. Agencies are notified when offers are issued.

  8. Students Accept or Decline Offers

    Students respond within 24 hours. If a student declines an offer, the system will move the offer to the next ranked candidate.

  9. Finalize Logistics With the Selected Student + Placement Begins

    Once a placement is confirmed, the student contacts the agency to confirm scheduling, start date, onboarding requirements, and any required documentation.

    Practicum placements begin the second week of the academic term. Students begin logging hours in alignment with the approved schedule and expectations set by the agency supervisor.
