- Have completed all your first-year course requirements, and be registered in your mandatory second-year fall and winter courses according to the program’s course sequence

CO-OP programs have limited enrolment. Meeting the admission criteria does not guarantee you a place. Admission is based on your CGPA. We admit those with the highest CGPA first.
