5. Submit your application (click "Submit" below). Thank you for completing this application.
  
If your application is accepted, the Program Chair will send an e-permit to the Registration Office, and will send you an email telling you that a permit has been sent. The permits expire within 24 hours of issue, so you must enroll as soon as possible after you receive the email that the permit has been sent.  NOTE THAT THE ONLINE REGISTRATION SYSTEM DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THESE E-PERMITS, SO YOU CANNOT ENROLL IN THE PRACTICUM ONLINE!  After the permit has been sent, you can enroll in the practicum either in person at the Registration desk, or over the phone, by calling 630-942-2377.

After your application has been accepted, a Practicum Site Agreement and Student Agreement must be signed by you, your supervising attorney, and the coordinator.  Copies of these forms are posted on the paralegal web page, https://www.cod.edu/academics/programs/paralegal/paralegal-practicum.aspx.
