丁香园AV Requirements

All Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and visa students are eligible to participate in the co-op program. Visa students are eligible for work permits which are only valid for co-op employment arranged through the co-op program.

Co-op is an optional program, except in the School of Engineering Science and master of public policy program where it is mandatory within the programs' structure.

Acceptance into the co-op employment process is based on academic performance and entry interviews where motivation, interpersonal, and communication skills are evaluated. Students must normally have 45-60 units and a CGPA of at least 2.50 before participating in the co-op employment process, however all students are admitted on an individual basis and the requirements may be flexible.

Co-op for Graduate Students

Graduate General Regulation 1.4.7 Co-operative Education

Co-operative Education integrates work experience and graduate studies. The name reflects the co-operative relationship among the University, employer and student. Practical experience from work terms is related to the student's major interests within the graduate program. A number of graduate programs have been approved, by the relevant graduate program committee, for co-operative education (co-op). 

Interested students should consult the Co-operative Education website. 

The application to enroll in co-op is subject to departmental approval. Each department has a specific course for the co-op work term or practicum.
