Criminal Record Check Information to students in HS/RCA program: You are required to complete a criminal record check (CRC) and submit your CRC report to the Program Coordinator. Please note that you will be requested by the practice agencies to have a criminal record check completed as a requirement for your practice experience in Home Support Agencies. Also note that Home Support Agencies require criminal record checks as a requirement for employment when hiring graduates of the HS/RCA program. Students applying for admission to the program should therefore be aware that if they have a criminal record, they may not be eligible for practice in Home Support Agencies and may not be employable in Home Support. Experience in Home Support Agencies is required for graduation from the HS/RCA program.
