Co-op questions
Co-Op is only offered to Industrial Engineering (MEng) & Mechanical Engineering (MEng)
It is important to understand that CO-OP Institute is a separate entity from GCS and has its own rules, most of them dictated by the Quebec’s Government (as the government pays back part of the internship salary). MIAE Department’s role is to secure the academic aspect of your sequence (course order, number of credits, etc.) and to validate student’s academic status (e.g. min GPA or above).
Visit the Graduate Co-Op website for rules, regulations and information on how to apply.
Keep in mind the following :
- Students from the faculty of Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science should not have completed more than 16 credits to apply.
- Student will graduate with CO-OP mention – attractive to employers as it clearly indicates exposure to career fundamentals
- Student will have ONE 12-17 weeks paid internship at earliest in the 3rd CO-OP semester
- Internship does not get any academic credit
Graduate Co-op students must maintain a CGPA of at least 3.3 throughout the program.
Any internship extension will not be part of CO-OP (Government will not reimburse the Company for student’s income). Should the employer wish to extend the internship, the student is ultimately responsible to clearly inform the employer and the Institute.
Student may take one course during their internship with written permission from their employer; the course must not interfere with their internship.
- Are required to be registered in a full-time course load during academic terms, regardless of the above policies. International students must always refer to the International Students Office for all questions regarding course registration requirements, immigration, work visa, student status, etc.
- Will receive a letter of support for their Co-op work permit application from the Institute upon admission to the program
