Course Schedule
Please note that students must have applied to Co-op directly from high school or via our website by the proper deadline in order to be considered for admission to the program. Students who meet Co-op’s eligibility requirements will be emailed and given access to register in COOP 1000. This communication will take place by mid-August for the fall offering of COOP1000, and by mid-late January for the winter session.
The timing of the course is dependent on your academic program and when your first work term is scheduled. In all cases, COOP 1000 must be completed at least two semesters prior to your first work term.
Fall: The fall section of COOP1000 is intended for students whose first Co-op work term will take place in the summer.
Winter: The winter section of COOP1000 is ONLY intended for students who plan on completing their first Co-op work term in the fall or following winter based on their pre-determined work-study pattern.
Once a student has registered in COOP1000, the first of four Co-op admin fees will be applied to their account. Please see our Program Cost page for detailed fee information.
Course Evaluation
