Co-op Option<\/strong><\/p>\n

Full-time IPIS students who have completed 1.5 credits in their first term, including 1.0 credits from the core compulsory courses plus any additional requirements, may select a co-op option to start in their third term. Registration in subsequent co-op terms will require the successful completion of all core program requirements.<\/p>\n

The 0.0 credit IPIS\u00a05913<\/a> [0.0] Co-operative Work Term<\/span>\u00a0 is in addition to the 5.0 credits required for the IPIS program – Two (2) co-op terms must be successfully completed before the student is eligible to receive a co-op designation on their academic transcript. Students will be registered in the co-op course IPIS\u00a05913<\/a> [0.0] Co-operative Work Term<\/span> once they are successful in their co-op job search, and are restricted from taking more than 0.5 credit at the same time. If a student opts to undertake one 0.5 credit course while on a co-op work term, the credit must be taken outside of regular working hours.<\/p>\n

Work terms are four months in duration, and typically students are employed at the junior officer level in government departments or other organizations. Information and procedures can be obtained from the Carleton University Co-op Office.<\/p>\n
