In the second year of the SSW program, students complete a field placement component (typically 14 hours per week in the fall semester and 21 hours per week in the winter semester).

Eligibility for the field placement component involves submitting several placement requirements. Placement requirements will be presented during an information session at the beginning of the second semester in a Fieldwork Preparation course. Students must submit all the requirements before the established deadline. If the appropriate documentation is not received by the SSW program deadline, students will not be registered in the subsequent fieldwork component of the program.

There are several workplace related safety certificates and professional training opportunities that students must complete in the fieldwork preparation course, which are available free of charge. Some requirements that have additional costs and time commitments are noted below. All costs associated with these requirements are the responsibility of the student.

·       Standard First Aid and CPR - Level C

·       Police Record Check - Vulnerable Sector Check

o   This is required by students as you will be participating in a placement during which you may have unsupervised access to vulnerable persons.

o   It is important to review the Criminal Record Check Policy as a prospective applicant:

·       Immunization record

o   As it can take time to obtain a copy of your immunization record, it is suggested to begin this work in advance.
