Students deviating from this schedule must consult with their academic advisor.Sample Careers:Software developerGame programmerMobile application developerWeb infrastructure developerUser experience designerSystems architectCo-opTo be eligible to continue in the Co-op program, students must meet a minimum 70% cumulative average requirement after second semester, as well as meet all work term requirements. Please refer to the Co-operative Education program policy with respect to work term performance grading, work term report grading and program completion requirements.For additional program information students should consult with their Co-op Co-ordinator and Co-op Faculty Advisor, listed on the Co-operative Education web site.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.
