Arts co-op eligibilityÌýÌý
The Arts co-op process typically starts in your 2A study term, after your first year is complete. The timing of your study terms and co-op work terms will depend on your specific co-op sequence.ÌýÌý
To be eligible for Honours Arts or Honours Arts and Business co-op as you enter your second year, you must have:Ìý
-
A minimum of 1 course (0.5 unit) or 2 courses (1.0 units) completed in your majorÌý
-
An average of at least 70% in your major (see notes 1 and 2).Ìý

-
A minimum of 8 courses (4.0 units) completed prior to admission to co-opÌý

If you wish to declare co-op and have not met the above requirements, or if you are unsure of how your course load may impact your eligibility to proceed in co-op, please discuss this situation with your academic advisor. While it is ideal for you to declare your major before the start of your 2A term, if you are not eligible to declare your intended major, the Honours Liberal Studies plan may be another option for you.ÌýÌý
