Mode of Delivery<br />
Social Work<br />
• Personal Written Statement,<br />
• Employment/work history/education (i.e Resumé),<br />
• Relevant volunteer experience would be an asset.<br />
Note: Students will be required to provide information<br />
regarding any criminal record to the program coordinator<br />
following their acceptance to the program. This is required<br />
to facilitate the placement of students in appropriate field<br />
placements. Field placement agencies may require a Criminal<br />
Record Check and a Child and Youth Information Systems<br />
Check of students placed in their organizations. The inability<br />
to present clear checks may mean a student may not be able<br />
to complete the requirements of the program. Contact the<br />
program coordinator for further information.<br />
The distributed delivery methods allow the student to<br />
pursue their educational goals at the campuses in selected<br />
communities. Students in the program may have to move<br />
for short periods of time to another community in order to<br />
complete their practicum placements. Costs incurred for<br />
this are the responsibility of the student.<br />
During the program, students may periodically be expected<br />
to travel to another campus for face to face classes to<br />
facilitate the learning of particular skills or participate in<br />
interactive activities. Costs incurred for this travel are the<br />
responsibility of the student<br />
For description of modes of delivery please see page 18.<br />
