Co-op vs. Regular
Most of the Faculty's plans are available in both the regular (conventional September to April academic year) and co-operative (alternating four-month academic and work terms) systems of study. Plans that are offered only for co-op students are explicitly indicated in the list of plans below.
Students in the regular system of study normally take courses during the fall and winter terms.
