CRIMINAL RECORD CHECKS

Applicants for Health Care Aide, Hospital Unit Clerk, Medical Office Assistant, Teacher Assistant, Out-of- School Programming for School-Age Children, the Work Experience course in Academic Foundations and the Practical Nurse programs are advised that they will be required to provide a current criminal record check prior to entering the work experience component of their program.

Applicants are responsible for applying for and obtaining their own criminal record check. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain the necessary information for their record and understand the implications on their work/clinical placement and the licensure and/or employment prospects.

For information on how to obtain a criminal record check, please contact your local police district office or the Bow Valley College Student Services office at 403-410-1400. It is the decision of the practicum agencies to accept or reject a student for placement or observation experience based on the results of your criminal record check. Both completion of your course requirements and eventual employment will be dependent upon the results of these criminal record checks. Should you require further information about our admissions policy, please call Student Services at 403-410-1400.
