- Maintain a minimum term and overall program GPA of 2.6
- Be enrolled full-time (nine credits) and have completed at least one full term at Langara; exceptions may be made if you have transferred from another institution or if you are currently registered with Accessibility Services.
While you’re in the Co-op Program:
- Complete a minimum of 420 hours during each approved four-month Co-op work term.
Note: there is also an option for a part-time Co-op where you can complete 420 hours over an eight month Co-op work term. - Complete all assignments, an employer evaluation, and a presentation for each full-time or part-time work term.
- If you are an international student, you must enrol in one of the programs offering a Co-op designation and have a valid Co-op work permit. There is no cost for the Co-op work permit and application support is provided by the Langara Global Office.
- Enrol in at least one full-time academic term upon completion of the final work term prior to graduation.
