Application Status
We are no longer accepting applications from undergraduates seeking admission to co-op in fall 2022. (The deadline was Friday, September 2, 2022. We do not accept applications after the deadline.)
Enrolment in co-op is limited and there is a competitive admission process for co-op programs in Arts, Business, Economics, Science, and User Experience Design. You must be enrolled full-time in second year as of September. (If you are seeking admission to UXD Co-op or to PEP, you are eligible if you will be enrolled full-time in third year in September.)
Note for applicants to undergraduate co-op programs: You must be enrolled full-time in your first four-year degree program to apply. Co-op is not available to students pursuing a second undergraduate degree.
