It is your responsibility to complete all the medical and additional requirements and ensure that your form is properly completed, signed and stamped by your doctor or physician. All cost is the responsibility of the student.

Failure to provide the Field Placement Clearance form requirements and have a clear vulnerable sector police check on Orientation day will exclude you from being eligible for field placement.

  • Applicants who require to complete fingerprints

Due to a change implemented by the RCMP, individuals applying for a vulnerable sector screening check through our (or any) police service may experience 10 to 12 weeks or longer wait times before receiving their police check results. Part of the screening process now involves querying a database of pardoned sexual offences. Up until recently, any hit on this database was based on a close match of the person’s surname and date of birth. If a hit is not received on the surname, the RCMP system will now query the date of birth and sex only. If the person’s date of birth matches the date of birth of a person of the same sex that may have been pardoned of a sexual offence, we will receive notice advising that this person must submit fingerprints. The hit is basically "silent", meaning we cannot confirm if the hit is based on the name or the date of birth. Consequently, the applicant will need to submit fingerprints in order to continue the process.

Applicants who require fingerprints will be provided detailed instructions by the Regional Police Services for completing the process, please attend the various private RCMP accredited fingerprinting agencies listed in your local telephone book. This process could take an additional 120 days before they can release the results, so start immediately. For more information, please visit the RCMP website.

Once you find out that you are required to complete fingerprints and/or has a history of criminal record, please discuss this issue with your Chair or Academic Coordinator immediately.
