applying for the vulnerable sector check as a future nursing student but dont have a student card

i will be moving to windsor and study nursing in the university of windsor. the vsc is required for the placement. i saw on the york region police website that a student card student card is needed to apply for it. just wanna know is it really a must? the uni told me that only a letter (which i have) is needed.

also, just wanna confirm can everything be done online? when im applying they need me to pick a pickup location, which i probably wont be able to pick up in-person.

thanks!
