 PLEASE NOTE:  
   ♦   If you apply more than 3 months prior to completing your teacher education program, your criminal record check will no longer be valid by the time your convocation letter or transcript is received. For example, if you apply in December and submit a criminal record check that was conducted on December 10 and your teacher education program convocation letter isn't received until April 17, your criminal record check is no longer valid and your application cannot be assessed.
 
   ♦   We only accept CRC/VSS completed by a law enforcement agency (i.e. city police, RCMP). We do not accept results from other agencies such as MyBackCheck, CERTN, etc.  
  ♦   If you completed your Bachelor of Education at the University of Regina, please ensure your Bachelor of Education appears awarded on your transcript before it is sent to us. Select the processing option "Hold(ing) for Credential" to ensure that your transcript will be sent after your degree has been conferred.  
  ♦   Applications will be assessed once ALL required documents are received.
