Upon entry to an Engineering program (e.g., Environmental Engineering), a student is expected to follow the work-term/academic-term sequence which corresponds to that particular program. A student may, for one reason or another, fail to satisfactorily complete the full complement of work terms. For these students and for students given advanced admission, a certain minimum number of satisfactory or better work terms must be completed before graduation. For students in Engineering programs (BASc or BSE), this minimum number of satisfactory or better work terms is normally five.
Allowance can be made for personal considerations, educational opportunities, and other "On Own" conditions with prior approval from the Department of Co-operative Education & Career Services. However, "On Own" conditions do not normally count toward the minimum requirements for graduation.
