Co-op Credits

As of Summer 2019, there was a change to how co-op students are granted credit for co-op terms completed and in progress.

Starting in S19, credit for each co-op work term completed is included in the calculation of your ‘earned’ credits, but does not count toward the 20.00 academic credit minimum required to graduate from the B.Sc.(Env.) degree program.

For B.Sc.(Env.): Co-op students following an Undergraduate Calendar between the years of 2018-2019 and 2021-2022 for their schedule of studies, this means: Students completing three co-op work terms will need a minimum of 21.5 credits in order to be eligible to graduate, including 1.5 credits for successfully completed co-op work terms. Students completing four co-op work terms will need a minimum of 22.0 credits in order to be eligible to graduate, including 2.0 credits for successfully completed co-op work terms.

For B.Sc.(Env.): Co-op students following the 2017-2018 Undergraduate Calendar (or earlier) for their schedule of studies, please note that for every co-op work term completed from S19 onward, 0.5 credits needs to be added to the 20.00 academic credit minimum required to graduate from the B.Sc.(Env.) degree program. 

Students that complete one or more work terms and subsequently withdraw from the co-op program may be able to use up to 1.0 co-op credits toward the academic credit requirement to graduate. Book an appointment to speak with your Program Counsellor if this scenario applies to you.
