Students who are not residents of Calgary must arrange for a PIC through the nearest local police service or RCMP detachment in the area where they reside.

The PIC must be completed no earlier than two months prior the start of the program (September 1). Students will be required to request a new PIC every year that a practicum is scheduled. The PIC must be presented to the organization hosting the student on or before the first day of the practicum course (Educational Psychology 656, 675, 676, 698).

Students who are concerned about the presence of a criminal record should contact the police department to discuss the process for eliminating or erasing such a record.
