  Applicants with credentials from outside of Canada must provide a "course-by-course" credential assessment from a recognized agency such as WES (World Education Services) or ICAS (International Credential Assessment Service); including a Postsecondary English course or equivalent.

Postsecondary English course equivalency can be demonstrated through the following:

• Completed postsecondary credential from an institution and country where English is the primary language spoken (Canada or one of the countries listed here)

To comply with the requirements of field placement organizations, you must have these documents prior to the start of the term. Documents must be valid for the duration of the placement semester:

• Vulnerable Sector Police Record Check

• Medical form: which includes current immunization and chest x-ray or tuberculin skin test reports

• Standard First Aid and CPR-C

• International students will need a valid Co-op Work permit.

To prepare for field placement students will receive an email invitation to attend an online Field Placement Orientation session. This session will provide you with helpful tips on how to complete these important documents. 

If you are a current or recently accepted student and have questions about field placement documents, please email the field placement team.

If you are a high school applicant or have not previously completed a degree, please apply to the two-year Early Childhood Education (ECE) program.
