All BBA candidates will be asked to complete a work sequence request form before their admissions interview. Some BBA students begin their first work term in May, but some begin their first work term in September. More than half the BBA students we admit in 2022 will be assigned to Sequence Two. You will have to indicate which sequence you prefer before your admission interview (we cannot guarantee that you will be assigned to your preferred sequence if you are offered admission). Review the BBA Work Sequences Options below before your interview to select the best sequence (s) for you.
You will be considered for admission only to the sequence(s) you specify. Students who are willing to accept either sequence may have a better chance of receiving an offer of admission than students who are willing to accept only one particular sequence. If you are offered admission to co-op, we will let you know which sequence of work and study terms you will follow.
If any of the statements below apply to you, we advise you not to select Sequence Two. Select "I am willing to accept admission to co-op only if I am in Sequence One" if you can say "yes" to any of the following:
If you receive OSAP funding, please investigate whether the sequence you choose could have an impact on your eligibility for funding. The provincial government has regulations restricting the number of academic terms for which students may secure OSAP funding.
Once we assign you to a sequence, you may not change it later. (Exception: Students who are matched in January with a CPA firm requiring a different sequence.)
