Co-op

Co-op is an optional part of the program. It is not mandatory. Units associated with the Co-op “courses” do not count towards your 30-unit program requirements. Please note:

If you are taking a project, you cannot go on co-op until after the project is completed.
You must hold one course back to complete after the co-op. You must return to your studies for one term after co-op as a student only. You cannot complete your studies and your co-op at the same time.
