Faculty of Environment

To maintain satisfactory standing in a Faculty of Environment co-op program, students must meet the following requirements:

1. A minimum of four satisfactory work terms.
2. A minimum of four Professional Development (PD) courses.
   PD 1 and PD 12 are mandatory. PD 1 must be taken prior to the first work term. PD 12 is taken during the first work term.
   
   Students are encouraged to take subsequent Professional Development (PD) courses each work term until the requirement is met.
3. A minimum of four work-term reports.
   PD 12 requires the submission of a written report. Successful completion of PD 12 will be considered one of the four required work-term reports. The remaining three work-term reports are to be completed at the end of the second, third, and fourth work terms.
   
   For the purposes of recording work reports, the course subject code WKRPT (Work-Term Report) will be added to the student’s record in the appropriate work term. A successful work-term report will be signified by a numerical grade which is not calculated into either the minimum cumulative overall or the minimum cumulative major averages. The unit weighting for WKRPT courses is not counted towards degree requirements for any Faculty of Environment academic plan.

Notes

1. Students missing two (or more) co-op requirements by the end of their 3B term will normally be removed from co-op, unless they have successfully been employed for four work terms. These students will remain in co-op but will not be eligible for a co-op degree.
2. Students not meeting their plan’s co-op requirements may be considered for transfer to another Faculty of Environment academic regular plan.
3. See the table below for the sequencing of academic and work terms. Transfer students may be required to follow a different sequencing.
4. Further information on co-operative study is stated in the Co-operative Education and Career Action section of the Calendar.
