For more information about participating employers, please consult the program-specific pages. Application Procedures Students apply to the Science Cooperative Education programs towards the end of their second undergraduate academic year. Science Cooperative Education hosts information sessions for each program in March, and interested students are encouraged to attend and ask questions. Applications forms are available at these sessions. Three criteria are considered in a student's application to a Science Cooperative Education program.
Prospective students submit responses to a series of questions with an initial application.
Applicants' academic records are considered, and some applicants are invited to interview with the SCE Manager and the Faculty Coordinator. Student are notified of their application status in early June. Although Science Cooperative Education has a wide variety of opportunities available through our standard placement process, we encourage students who choose to conduct their own job search, and we are happy to assist them in these efforts. Officially, each work term is for a 4-month period.
