Social Justice and Peace Studies is an interdisciplinary program. There is a mandatory service component in second year that engages students in local issues of Social Justice and Peace and an optional overseas service component offering a variety of opportunities that may be undertaken at any time after first year. The program addresses students of all religious and political persuasions in a spirit of open and free dialogue.
Records Check and Vulnerable Sector Screening
The Social Justice and Peace Studies program at King’s University College at The University of Western Ontario does not require a Criminal Records Check or other screening procedure (e.g., Vulnerable Sector Screening {VSS}) as a condition of admission into its programs. However, prospective students should be aware that a criminal record check or VSS may be required by other
facilities used for practicum placements, or experiences related to an academic course assignment. It is the student’s responsibility to have the necessary procedure completed. In some programs,
students will not be permitted access to such courses without having completed this requirement. Students will share VSS or other record check information directly with the facility or agency for
which they have been assigned a placement and may, if they wish, disclose the results to their Program Coordinator. Students unable to complete a placement requirement because they are unable
to meet a facility’s requirement for such a screening, or because a facility refuses to accept them on the basis of the information contained in the record check or other screening procedure, will not be eligible for progression or graduation. Those students registered in an internship placement, clinical practice placement or co-op as a course requirement may not be able to pass the course if they have
not met an agency’s requirement, or if the agency refuses to accept them on the basis of the information contained in the record check or other screening procedure. Students should check with their Program Coordinator for details as to the policy on course access and to the time frame within which a screening must be completed.
