Experiential Learning “supports students in gaining hands-on learning that helps them transition to employment”^[1]. Experiential Learning can take the form of co-operative education, degree work placement, clinical/field placement, fieldwork/simulation labs, capstone/applied research projects, and service learning.

Minimum requirements to apply for the Co-op program:

• Minimum of 80% of courses completed from year one and two
• A minimum C (60%) grade in COMM-170/171
• A cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher (this must be maintained for the duration of the program)
• Students must be legally eligible to work in Canada
• Students who meet the above prerequisites will apply to transfer to the co-op program as scheduled

Please note that while the College does not require COVID-19 vaccination, students are required to follow the policies in place at work-term/placement sites. This means that you may be required to provide proof of vaccination to your employer/placement host in order to participate in and complete your work term/placement.
