2. Continuation Requirements for Students Previously Admitted to the Co-op Option and Admission to the Co-op option after beginning the program
Eligibility will be determined for all B.P.A.P.M. co-op students on the basis of the CGPA at the beginning of the term preceding the first co-op placement.
