Co-operative Education

Students applying to the University directly from high school will be considered for admission to Co-op. Transfer students are not eligible for direct entry to co-op. 

Applicants interested in co-op are encouraged to apply directly to co-op from high school.  Students considering applying to the Undeclared option in Bachelor of Commerce who know they want to pursue co-op are encouraged to apply to a major with co-op. 

Normally, a minimum average of 80% is required for consideration, but exact cut-offs are determined by the quantity and quality of the applicant pool as well as space available in each program.  Students not admitted to co-op will automatically be considered for admission to the regular program (with the exception of the Bachelor of Engineering, which is co-op only).  

Students not admitted to co-op can apply for co-op in the first year of study, but space is limited.  Admission for in-course students is not guaranteed.  Refer to the Co-operative Education Programs in Chapter X for more information.
