Students apply for co-op/internships programs either through “Career Link” available on the Career Services Website (live-ucalgary.ucalgary.ca/student-services/careers), or directly through their faculty. Information on admission to each co-op and internship program is available through the faculty office. See section 4. Faculty Contact Office for a list of locations.

Students must:

• Be registered as a full-time student.
• Be registered in a faculty/program offering Co-operative Education/Internship programs.

• Meet faculty/program GPA and course entrance requirements.
• Complete the Career Development Workshop or equivalent Faculty-specific preparatory session(s),
• Attend a personal interview to determine admissibility, if required by their faculty.

Students applying to Co-operative Education/Internship should also be aware of the following:

1. Students in combined degree programs are eligible for Co-operative Education/Internship programs in one of the degree programs.

2. The University reserves the right to refuse admission to a Co-operative Education/Internship program on academic or other grounds.

3. Transfer students from other universities may be considered for admission to the Co-operative Education/Internship program. Please refer to the faculty section for additional details. All transfer students are advised to complete one academic term at the University of Calgary prior to a work term.
