Spring 2026 Block Placement

See below for an explanation of the process and instructions for applying.

Review the Course Schedule

The Spring 2026 Schedule of Classes will be available on Friday, September 12th. 

Block Applications open Friday, September 19th

If you'll be taking other courses in addition to a field-based block, look over the schedule of classes before submitting your block application so that you can base your block preference around your other course days/times to avoid a scheduling conflict. 

i.e., if you need ENG 3340 and the only section offered is on Monday mornings, you would need to request a Tuesday/Thursday block so that those courses don't interfere with each other

Spring Field Experience (Block) Schedule

You can refer to the drop-down menus at the bottom of this page for a list of the block placements that exist and their days/times/locations.  You'll need to keep this information in mind when you indicate your placement preferences on the block application.

Priority Applications: Friday, September 19 (noon) - Sunday, September 28 (11:59pm) 
Students who apply during this window will hear back about their application status and placement before the start of registration. 
 

2nd Wave of Applications: Monday, September 29 - Monday, December 2
These applications will be reviewed on an individual rolling basis but aren't guaranteed placement before the start of registration; students waiting to hear their placement status should proceed with registering for any non-block courses they have planned at their earliest access opportunity.
 

Placement Not Assured: Tuesday, December 3 - Start of Spring Classes
Applications submitted after the fall semester has ended will be considered, but placement may not be assured due to limited capacities at Texas State's partnering ISD campuses.
