Cooperative Education

Students may apply to enter a Co-operative Education option. Participation in Co-op may extend graduation by one year. Co-op Education integrates academic studies with paid periods of relevant work experience. The Co-op program allows students to gain first hand experience working in a variety of resource areas and participating employers get exposure to potential future employees. Securing a job placement in the Co-op program is competitive and the number of jobs available will depend on the number of participating employers. Students are not guaranteed job placement in any given workterm.

Students must apply to participate in the Co-op program. Students will be chosen by a selection committee based on grades and completion of specific courses. Students must complete all registered first year courses, maintain a minimum GPA of 2.33 each year and maintain a minimum C+ in all NRSC, FRST, ENGL and BIOL courses. Applications from first year students may be considered.

Students accepted into the Co-op program must participate in a "Working to Learn" course which offers instruction in job search skills and workplace professionalism. Refer to the Co-operative Education section of the calendar for detailed information on Co-op policies and procedures and tuition fees.
