Notes:
- It is highly recommended that students attend an information session;
- We strongly recommend you have basic computer literacy including experience with keyboarding, and basic internet search and email skills.
Participation requirements
Practicum placements are a mandatory component of this program.
- Due to new legislation that came into effect January 2011, every registered student who has
practicum/clinical placement involving work with children and/or vulnerable adults must undergo a Criminal Record Check (CRC) through the Criminal Record Review Program. A new process is presently being developed. Students will also be informed of the new process during program information sessions. Any CRC done outside the college will NOT be accepted and will result in additional cost to the student.
Completion requirements
You'll need to complete all program courses with a minimum "C" grade including: ENGL 150, ENGL 160 or ENGL 164, PSYC 154, PSYC 256, HLTH 110 and one elective for a total of 61 credits with a GPA of at least 3.0 in order to graduate with a diploma in Community, Family and Child Studies.
