Required Documentation

In addition to admissions documents required by the University of Calgary, the Faculty of Nursing will require immunization records/information, proof of N-95 Fit Testing, etc. An admission package will be sent from UCalgary Nursing to all newly admitted students containing all pertinent forms/requirements. 

Police Information Check and Vulnerable Sector Search

All applicants admitted to the Faculty of Nursing are required to provide a current Police Information Check (also referred to as a Security Clearance or Criminal Record Check) which must include a Vulnerable Sector Search

In order to be considered “current”, the Police Information Check must be completed during the three months prior to the start of clinical placements.

June 1 – August 31 for Fall Admission
October 1 – December 31 for Winter Admission

If the Check results in a “not clear” determination or if a criminal record conviction is confirmed, admission to the Faculty may be retracted.  An internal University appeal process is available to applicants who are refused admission for this reason.

Students may be required to produce a current PIC prior to the practicum experience to adhere to the student practicum agreements with our practice partners.

Subsequent to admission and at any time during the program, a student may be required to produce a current Police Information Check, the results of which could require their withdrawal from the program, in the sole discretion of the University. Students are obligated to inform the Faculty immediately of any change in status of their criminal record.

If you are charged or convicted of a criminal offense at any time during your enrollment in the program, you are required to inform the Faculty of Nursing Undergraduate Program Office immediately.

Students who are concerned about the presence of a criminal record should contact the Parole Board of Canada for information on receiving a Canadian Pardon/Record Suspension.  

I've lived in Calgary for more than 12 months

Students who have lived in Calgary for more than 12 months must arrange for a Police Information check and Vulnerable Sector Search through: Calgary Police Service - Police Information Check Unit.

In order to verify that you will be involved in "unpaid" practicum experiences throughout your program, resulting in a reduced fee, you must provide the Calgary Police Service/RCMP Detachment with the letter provided to you by the Faculty of Nursing.

I've moved to Calgary within the last 12 months

Students who have moved to Calgary within the past 12 months must complete the following three items:

  • Police Information Check and Vulnerable Sector Search through the Calgary Police Service, Police Information Check Unit (see above).
  • Once the results of the Police Information Check and Vulnerable Sector Search have been presented to the Faculty of Nursing, students will need to complete a Statutory Declaration” with a Commissioner for Oaths in the faculty. 
  • A new Police Information Check and Vulnerable Sector Search must be provided once 12 months of residency in Calgary has been reached.

I've not moved to Calgary yet

Students who have not yet moved to Calgary must arrange for a Police Information Check and Vulnerable Sector Search through the nearest local Police Service or RCMP detachment in the area where you currently reside.  

Please note this process must be initiated before you move to Calgary.
