Requestors are strongly advised to obtain a summary of their clinical placement history from HSPnet (Health Sciences Placement Network).
- Available only for students enrolled from 2012 onward
- Placement histories prior to 2012 are not available
If you cannot obtain a summary of your clinical placement history from HSPnet directly, you can submit an Authorization Request to the DCSN Central Placement Office using the steps below.
Step 5.1:
Email cpo@torontomu.ca with the following information:
Subject Line: Placement History Request
I authorize the Central Placement Office to retrieve my placement history on HSPnet.
Your Full Name
Your TMU Student Number
Step 5.2:
Processing timeline
- Authorization uploaded to HSPnet
- Report generation takes 4–5 business days
Step 5.3:
Receive report
- Your placement history will be emailed as an attachment
Step 5.4:
- Include placement information in your Verification Request eForm (see Step 6.1)
Notes:
- TMU’s nursing program does not track total clinical hours by specialty area
- Clinical education is delivered through integrated courses and rotations
- Some international licensing bodies may request specialty-specific hours, potentially requiring additional documentation
This reflects a structural difference between Canadian nursing programs and some international requirements.
- Log in to my.torontomu.ca
- Select MyServiceHub
- From the Student Homepage, select eForms Center
- Locate the "Faculty of Community Services" drop-down and select "Add Nursing Educ Verification"
