Admission Documents

If you are offered admission into the Early Learning and Child Care program, your acceptance is considered conditional until the program receives two documents—a clear police information check and a valid child care first aid certificate.

Submit these required additional documents to the program office after you have received a letter of acknowledgement from the Office of the University Registrar. For Fall intake, all documents must be submitted by August 1. If they are not submitted by that date, your application will be closed and considered incomplete.

Original documents can be dropped off in person or mailed.

Police information check

The police information check that you provide must include a vulnerable sector search and be dated no earlier than June 1 of the year you will begin your studies. In other words, it must be issued no longer than three months prior to your intake date. This document is a mandatory condition of admission into the program.

Live in Edmonton

If you live in Edmonton, you can request a police information check with a vulnerable sector search through Edmonton Police Services.

Police Information Check

Live outside Edmonton

If you are a Canadian citizen who lives outside of Edmonton, you can request a police information check with a vulnerable sector search through your local police agency or RCMP detachment.

International student

If you are an international student who has been in Canada for less than six months, a copy of your Study Permit fulfills this requirement.

If you have been in Canada for more than six months, request a local clearance using the information in the section above that is pertinent to your residence—either Living in Edmonton or Living outside of Edmonton.

First aid in child care certificate

After you have received your offer of conditional acceptance from the Office of the University Registrar, register in a first aid in child care program offered by one of the following approved training providers. Please ensure that the course you register in has the words "child care" in its title. This certificate is a mandatory condition of admission into the program.
