Residency Requirement

\r\n\r\n

Normally, 50% of the academic work completed toward the award of a Mount Royal parchment must be completed at the University, except where written approval has been given by the Dean of the appropriate Faculty. In addition, the practicum component of the BHPE must normally be completed as a student of Mount Royal.

\r\n\r\n

Duration of the Program

\r\n\r\n

Program requirements for degree completion can be completed in four academic years.

\r\n\r\n

Police Information Check

\r\n\r\n

Students preparing for practicum may be required to provide a current Police Information Check and Vulnerable Sector Check, at their own expense. It is each practicum agency's decision to accept or reject a student for placement based upon the results of a police information and/or vulnerable sector check. Since completion of course requirements and eventual employment in a field of study may be dependent upon the results of such checks, students who have concerns should discuss the matter with the department chair. Please refer to the statement regarding police information and other background checks in this calendar.
