Apply to Co‑op ‑ Associated Universities (Engineering)

To apply for co-op, students from associated universities must complete the following steps:

  1. Apply to Dalhousie and pay the $200 deposit (even if you have a placement in the Engineering Program) by December 15
    Note: the co-op application deadline is earlier than the non-co-op program deadline.
  2. Register for the Online Co-op Orientation Course (ENGI 8890) and pay the $300 course deposit deadline by January 15
  3. Complete the Online Co-op Orientation Course (ENGI 8890) by April 15
    See below for detailed instructions on how to register for the ENGI 8890 course. Students who are not eligible for the Co-op Program can have this course fee refunded.
  4. Obtain the Diploma in Engineering and have a cumulative GPA of 2.3 by April 30
    Students completing the Diploma in Engineering after April 30 will not have access to co-op job postings for the fall work term, but may choose to conduct a self-directed job search. All self-obtained co-op positions must be approved for co-op by September 15. Students can also choose to take the fall term off, return to classes in January and join the co-op program for the summer work term of 2015. Students who choose to take study term 6 in the fall are normally not eligible for Co-op.
