Police Record Checks
As a part of our teacher education programs, you'll spend time practicing your teaching skills in schools. In order to participate in these practicum assignments, you will need a valid criminal record check which includes a vulnerable sector screening (VSS), for each year you are in the program.
Teacher candidates who cannot obtain a satisfactory criminal record report will be unable to complete all the requirements of their 91±¬ÁÏ degree.
For detailed information on how to obtain a criminal record check, visit the Police Record Checks webpage.
Teaching in Ontario’s Catholic Schools
Students interested in teaching in a Catholic school are required to take a religious education certificate course, in addition to their regular electives.
This course is available through 91±¬ÁÏ's Continuing & Professional Learning (CPL) department and is a prerequisite for job interviews and a condition of employment in Ontario's Catholic School Boards.
