§ 6-8 Third Paragraph: The educational institution must send the police certificate to the Student Affairs Committee as soon as possible, and no later than ten days after all documentation regarding the case is available, in accordance with the Universities and Colleges Act § 4-9, fifth paragraph. The police certificate must be accompanied by an overview of the content and guidance in clinical instruction/practical studies and an assessment of whether the student should be excluded from these.
