Students can work a maximum of two Spring/Summer work terms, the third work term must take place in the Fall or Winter Term.
4. Sequencing of work terms with academic terms is a flexible process which depends upon the availability of work terms, length of work terms (four or eight months) and the student's academic requirements.
5. Students must end their Co-operative Education/Internship program with an academic term.
6. The Co-operative Education courses are in addition to the normal requirements for each degree, i.e., students must complete the required courses and the required number of non Co-op courses as students completing the traditional degree programs.

If a student's academic performance results in the student being required to withdraw from the Haskayne School of Business, or being placed on probation, the student will be required to withdraw from the Co-operative Education/Internship program. If the student is required to withdraw from the Co-op program but has already accepted a work term, the employer will be informed that the student is no longer registered in the Co-op program. Termination of the student's employment will be at the employer's discretion.
9. While on a work term students pay an academic course fee and are considered as full-time students.
10. Upon completion of each work term, the student must present a work term report to the Co-op Office at the Haskayne School of Business.
