Records include admission forms, admission rating forms, applicant letter of intent, resume, post-secondary transcripts, reference letters, acceptance/denial letters, final evaluation reports, withdrawal forms, re-entry forms, appeal forms and related correspondence, program/course reflections, observation packages, and due process documents.

These records are created, used, retained and managed in accordance with the following authorities:

Retention rationale

If a student withdraws from the PPS program they have a period of two years within which they may return to the program without needed to reapply. In addition, upon completion of the PPS program students may register with the BC Teachers Council for certification. Students have three years to complete their applications to the BCTC once opened. 

Retaining PPS Student Files until the current year the student graduates or withdraws  + 5 additional years ensures that the Department of Education will have necessary information to administer the PPS program and assist students in completing their applications with the BCTC.
