Computer Science (Co-op) (CS:C)

Computing and Information Science, College of Physical and Engineering Science

The honours major in Computer Science is available with a Co-operative Education option. Students may apply for this option at the time of University admission or completion of semester 2. Please check with CIS Co-op faculty advisor for semester planning.

Since many courses are offered in only one semester and course pre-requisites 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.

Note: that a total of four work terms are necessary to complete the Co-op requirement.

Students are eligible to participate in a maximum two (2) work terms commencing in the summer and must follow the academic work schedule as outlined in the Co-operative Education & Career Services website.

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). COOP*1000, COOP*2000, COOP*3000, COOP*4000 and COOP*5000 represent the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth work terms respectively.

Students are advised to plan their schedule of studies well in advance so that they can take all required prerequisites for later (especially 4000 level) courses. Students should note that some 4000 level courses are only given in alternate years. Failure to plan may result in the inability to take a particular senior CIS course. Not all sequences may be viable. Please check with the CIS Co-op faculty advisor for semester planning.

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.
