Once you have been accepted, and have confirmed your offer, you may need to complete a further set of requirements related to your program (Post-Admission Requirements).
Students in the program must be in good physical and mental health and meet the same physical and immunization requirements as those for the staff employed by the agency/facility where the practicum is taking place. The following field practicum mandatory requirements must be completed by the first week of academic classes in any given semester. These mandatory practicum requirements include the completion of the following documents:
Police Records Check Documentation:
Agencies that provide practicum opportunities require you to have a clear Police Record Check for Service with the Vulnerable Sector (PRCSVS). Successful completion of field practicum is a requirement for graduation from the program. Your acceptance for field practicum is at the discretion of the agency. If you register in the program without a clear PRCSVS and as a result are unable to participate in field practicum, you will not be able to graduate. Police record checks need to be renewed every six months or earlier depending upon field practicum requirements of each setting.
It is important to note that these documents can take anywhere between 4-12 weeks to complete. Students are recommended to complete them immediately upon acceptance to the program. It is the student’s responsibility to apply and maintain currency with all required field practicum documents.
International Students: In addition to the requirements above, international students are encouraged to visit international.humber.ca to review additional requirements. One of these requirements is the completion of a co-op work permit. This permit is a requirement to start field practicum. International students should apply for this as soon as they receive their confirmation of acceptance. Please contact the Early Childhood Program Administrative Assistant to obtain a program letter required for submission to immigration in order to obtain the co-op work permit. Please note that this coop work permit may take several months to be processed by immigration. It is important that international students begin their coop work permit process upon registering for courses.
It is important that all potential students understand that a failure to meet all requirements by the identified deadlines may impede them from successfully completing their full program and/or securing employment. Students will then be expected to complete field practicum at another time at an additional cost to the student. It is the student’s responsibility to follow all required expectations in order to be eligible to complete field practicum. Humber reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse student access to children placed in its care.
Required documents including immunizations, police record checks, standard first aid and CPR, and how to validate these requirements can be found in the webpage section of this site titled 'Support'.
