Future Students Information

Criminal Record Check:  While not an admission requirement for the program; applicants are advised they will be required to provide a Criminal Record Check to some agencies where they will be placed for practicum experiences.

The existence of a criminal record may prevent clinical placement, program completion, and professional licensure therefore affecting employment prospects. It is each agency's or institution's decision to accept or reject a student for placement or observation experience based on the results of the criminal record check.

Students who do not have a clear criminal record should discuss the matter with the department Chair prior to applying for admission.

CRC must be issued no earlier than August 1, 2012 for September 2012 program start date, please obtain two copies of your CRC one to hand in the first week of classes and the second you will need for clinical placements.

CPR: All students recertifying or certifying in CPR, must do so at the "Health Care Provider Level". This is in keeping with the new national guidelines and legislation. This applies to new and current students. Students must re-certify yearly.

Please be sure to have your current CPR card with you during the first week of classes to show proof of CPR certification at the Health Care Provider level.

IMMUNIZATION: All students must complete the immunization form and provide to the Health & Wellness Centre (room 901) or bring to your first class.  For information about immunization requirements, please contact Health & Wellness Centre at 403.342.3427.
