***IMPORTANT***
Please review the intake dates and deadlines. For students joining the Co-op program close to the maximum credits of 90, students must take COOP 1101 during the intake they have been accepted. This is to ensure students have ample time to complete their required work terms and still end on an academic term. We strongly advise students to consult with an academic advisor in their faculty to effectively plan their course and work term schedules.
