## Submitting Clinical Requirements

1. All documents must be scanned and sent by email to: clinicalrequirements@northern.on.ca.

Keep all original copies of required forms, reports, and documents in a safe place. You will need these documents for employment following the completion of your program. The college is not responsible for providing copies of documents to students once submitted.

3. Students and their clinical teachers are guests in the Health Care and Emergency Services agencies in which clinical placements occur. These Agencies have the right to require mandatory immunizations and communicable disease testing from us. Failure to comply will result in denial of access to clinical attendance.
