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 end of the first semester of studies in preparation for the first field placment. Students can expect to obtain more information about the process in their ECE 120 class in first semester. These 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, therefore it is important for students to note these timelines for completion in their first semester. Students are recommended to complete them immediately upon starting in the first semester of their ECE program. It is the student's responsibility to apply and maintain currency with all required field practicum documents for every field practicum.
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. This will enable the receipt of the actual co-op work permit at the border upon arrival to Canada. If unable to locate the letter from the international office, please contact the International office at Humber to obtain a program letter required for submission to Immigration in order to obtain the co-op work permit. Please note that this co-op work permit may take several months to be processed by immigration.
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.
For required documents including immunizations, police record checks, standard first aid and CPR, and how to validate these requirements, please visit healthsciences.humber.ca/resources/field-clinical-placement.html.
Students who have been accepted to the Early Childhood Education program must also complete a Computerized College Placement Test (CCPT) to determine which English to register for. Details on the process can be found at humber.ca/student-life/testing-services
