Schedule of Studies Co-op

Since many courses are offered in only one semester and course prerequisites place an ordering on courses, the following program of studies is designed so that students can schedule their courses over 8 semesters of study. Students deviating from this schedule must consult with their Co-op faculty advisor. This schedule assumes a Fall/Winter semester sequence.

Major Co-op (Honours Program)

School of Computing and Information Science, College of Physical and Engineering Science.

The Honours Bachelor of Computing degree is also available as a Co-operative Education Program. Students may apply for this option at the time of University admission or completion of semester 2. Three co-op work terms are required in Stream A and four are required in Stream B. Please check with CIS. Co-op faculty advisor for semester planning.

The course COOP*1100 must be successfully completed before the student may apply for a placement for the first work term (normally 2 semesters before the first work term).

Other sequences may not be viable for the co-op student. Please check with the CIS Co-op faculty advisor for semester planning. COOP*1000, COOP*2000, COOP*3000, and COOP*4000 represent the first, second, third, and fourth work terms respectively.

Conditions for graduation are the same as the corresponding regular B.Comp. Program. In addition, all work reports and performance evaluations must have a grade of satisfactory or better.
