Hey Guys, I've just been vaccinated against a number of things...including tetanus, to fulfil my special requirements. Who else here has special requirements? Adamj, have you found out what we need to be vaccinated against for Criminology? I just got nearly the whole lot done.

the needles were given in different arms, i got the tetanus shot on my ass. polio was a drop - but it tasted poopy. Lets just say it's been 3 days since the shots and i'm too sore to drive. BE SCARED! i was sitting there saying "Criminology is so not worth this pain"

No not all courses, just courses that have field work, and clinical thingies - or what not. They'll tell you after you accept your offer to UWS, and if you are a course that needs to fulfil these special requirements, you'll get something else in the mail. But you should have received the special requirement forms last week.

well at enrolment she said that i had to keep the vaccination card. So i guess it doesn't need to be done for enrolment - but it says by the end of march somewhere. Apparently they'll make some special letter based on your crim rec check, and vacc. and what not, and you just take that letter everytime you go to use special facilities or something.
