The work terms are paid employment related to the student s field of study and are of 13 to 16 weeks in duration. The programme includes three to four work terms and a minimum of eight academic terms comprising 20 academic credits. The Science Co-operative Education degree programme normally takes between four and a third and five years, depending upon the field of study chosen. Science Co-op students have limited opportunity to take certain numbered classes and the choice of classes in the summer academic term may be limited. It is important that students realize that successful completion of the work terms is an integral part of the course of study.
Office is required for entry.
Applications must be received by the deadline date set by the Co-op Academic Advisor in the discipline of choice or by August 15th if they have not stated otherwise. Some departments have earlier deadlines. With the permission of the Co-op Academic Advisor, some students may be admitted on a probationary basis pending an improvement in their grades. Academic departments may, at their discretion, allow a probationary period before the requirement to withdraw is enforced. During this probationary period, the student may not undertake any new work term commitments but may honour pre-existing arrangements.
