About Co-op:
To apply for the co-op stream, students initially apply to the non-co-op program. Admission depends on labor market conditions, with an 80% average requirement in Year 1. International students need work permits for co-op job access, and there are no fee refunds after the withdrawal date. Continuing without a work permit is at the student’s risk, and concerns should be discussed with the co-op advisor early on.
