Ecology Co-operative Education
Application deadline: December 1 or May 1. See the subsection on Co-operative Education/Internship Programs in Section 3 (Faculty Regulations) and the major section on "Co-operative Education/Internship" of this Calendar. Co-operative Education programs are five-year degree programs that include 12 to 16 months of supervised work experience in various industrial and government workplaces. Minimally, students must be in their second year in the Biological Sciences program with a grade point average of 2.30 before applying for admission to the BSc Ecology Co-operative Education program. A grade point average of 3.30 is required for entry into the BSc Honours Ecology Co-operative Education program. In addition, students must complete the courses outlined for the second year of the Ecology program with the same minimum grade point average before commencing the first co-operative education placement (the summer following second year). |

Required Courses
120 units (20.0 full-course equivalents) - Same as Ecology Majors or Honours 12 months - Co-operative Education work terms (Co-operative Education 543.01, 543.02, 543.03) |

Work Term Assessment
The mandatory work term courses, Co-operative Education 543.01, 543.02, 543.03 and the additional course, Co-operative Education 543.04, are graded on a credit (CR) or fail (F) basis. A positive assessment requires satisfactory performance on each of the following items: (b) The employer's evaluation of job performance. (c) The student's self-assessment of job performance and the overall job experience, which is normally based on participation in a debriefing or integrative session. (d) A work term report prepared by the student and evaluated by the Faculty. Notes:
