What Professional Checks do I need to complete?

Following your offer of a place on the course, you will receive a welcome email asking you to complete three mandatory compliance checks. You will also have received a checklist to help you keep track and ensure all pre enrolment tasks are completed. The Professional check requirements include:

• Suitability Declaration (click to complete the MS Form only if you have not yet done this),
• DBS check and
• Occupational Health Questionnaire.

What should I do before the event?

• Read your welcome email
• Use your checklist to ensure you have completed all professional checks and admissions requirement
• Complete these checks as soon as possible as failure to complete all the professional checks could result in your enrolment being delayed, a deferral to your start date or offer being withdrawn.

What can I ask Professional Checks at the event?

• Degree Qualification checking

o    Prior to the event ensure you have emailed your UG degree certificate to educationadmissions@shu.ac.uk

o    Bring the original copy of your degree certificate to the event for checking (we can only check your degree at the event if admissions have verified if electronically first)

o    If you are yet to receive your degree certificate, we will contact you later in the year to arrange to view this.
