If you secure a suitable work term position, either through self-development or CIMS, and have not registered within five days following the registration date, you will be automatically registered by the Co-op office.

All registration fee payment deadlines apply and students obtaining a position through the co-op and internship posting process will not be eligible to withdraw and obtain a refund except for documented medical reasons. If you choose to opt out of the work term prior to obtaining a position, please advise the Co-op office immediately.

In the event that, in spite of sustained efforts on your part,you are unable to obtain a position before the last day to start work, contact the Co-op office and your Employment Facilitator immediately as you may be authorized for a refund of your work term tuition and deposit. Please note that the Co-op and Student Employment Office reserves the right to withhold the deposit.
