All Pharmacy students must submit a copy of a valid vulnerable sector criminal record check obtained no more than 6 months prior to the School's requirement due date.
To obtain a vulnerable sector criminal record check, students must apply through their local police service. Proof of residency or identity verification and other information may be required. It may take several weeks or months to complete (depending on location) so do not delay submitting your request.
Some police services require a letter from the School in order to process the request for a vulnerable sector criminal record check. They may also required an agency code (e.g. Toronto Police Service).
Letter templates and agency codes are posted in Verified under the Important Forms section. Students who do not have a Verified account can email phrexper@uwaterloo.ca for this information.
