      The co-operative plan is available in the School of Business
and Economics to offer students an educational alternative. A
number of students find the Honours Business Administration and
Honours Economics programs more exciting and more purposeful when
pursued on the basis of an alternating sequence of work and study.

    Co-op students begin their alternating sequence of
four-month work and study terms at the end of Second Year.
Normally, a Co-op student would accumulate 12 months of practical
work experience and graduate four months after students in the
regular sequence. No academic credit will be given for the work
experience. Students successfully completing the option will have
the notation "Co-operative Option" appended to their transcripts.

    The development of suitable work term employment for
Co-op students is under the direction of the Department of
Co-operative Education. Students apply to employers with whom they
are interested in working. Normally, co-op interviews are conducted
on campus since this is most convenient for students and employers.
    Although employment cannot be guaranteed, every effort is made
to ensure that suitable employment is available for students
admitted to the Co-op option. Students are compensated by their
employer for work performed.

    Co-op students follow the same academic program as regular
students. Because of the alternating pattern of Co-op work and
study terms, there are some differences in the time-tabling of
individual courses.

    A Co-op fee is payable in each academic term of Second
and Third Year.
