IMPORTANT: COVID-19 vaccination is not required to attend St. Clair College, some of the placement sites may require students to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19 to be eligible to attend. St. Clair College cannot predict if a placement site will require full vaccination. If placements sites do require students to be fully vaccinated to attend their place of business, students who are not fully vaccinated cannot be provided with a placement for their program and therefore will not be able to complete their programs.
