The Work/Study Sequence
Each academic program establishes a work-study pattern that is designed to meet the academic needs of the student, and to ensure that they are scheduled to work during periods that are supported by industry need.
The work-study sequence and number of mandatory work terms varies according to the individual program. Four-month, eight-month, twelve-month or sixteen-month work terms may be available. Please see specific programs for details. Students are normally expected to complete the full complement of work terms in the prescribed academic term/work term sequence. Students in Co-operative Education typically require an additional year to complete their degree program.
