To earn the co-op designation at graduation for the Bachelor of Environmental Studies (BES) and Bachelor of Science (BSc) programs, students must meet the following requirements:
- A minimum of four credited work terms.
- 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.
PD courses are graded with either a CR (credit granted) or NCR (failed, no credit granted). There are no numerical values associated with these grades, and
therefore they will not be used in plan average calculations. The unit weighting for PD courses is not counted towards the total minimum unit degree requirements for any Faculty of Environment academic plan.
Notes
- 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.
- Students not meeting their plan’s co-op requirements may be considered for transfer to another Faculty of Environment academic regular plan.
- See the table below for the sequencing of academic and work terms. Transfer students may be required to follow a different sequencing.
- Further information on co-operative study is stated in the Co-operative Education and Career Action section of this Calendar.
