In order to stay in the Cooperative Education Option, a student must maintain an E.G.P.A. of 2.50 or better, and must obtain a passing grade for each work term report. All rules and regulations of the Faculty of Engineering apply. Students who do not maintain these standards, are not able to remain in the Cooperative Education Option, and are transferred back into the regular program. The course and grade requirements for completion of the Cooperative Education Option are the same as those required for the regular program. However, in order to satisfy course prerequisite requirements a Coop student's timetable and course arrangements may differ from those of students in the regular program.
Students apply for job openings, as they become available in the Cooperative Education Option.
The process of placing a student recognizes the requirements of both the employer and the student. Students are expected to obtain employment through the procedures established by the Department. Work terms may be taken individually or contiguously. Contiguous work terms require the permission of the Coop Office. Work term reports must be completed at the end of each work term or, in the case of contiguous terms, every 12 to 16 weeks.
