Eligibility
To be eligible to apply for Co-op you must have completed a minimum of four MLIS courses including 9001, 9002, 9003, and 9006 with a 75% average or above, with no individual course grade below 70%. Some employers also list additional requirements and will not consider applicants who do not meet the qualifications. You must be legally able to work in Canada to be considered for co-op.
Since participation in the Co-operative Work/Study Program is a privilege rather than a right, only students who meet and maintain the required qualifications, who demonstrate professional readiness (i.e., appropriate skills and professional behaviour) and adhere to the procedures and regulations of the program may participate. The decision not to allow a student to participate in Co-op is made by the Associate Dean and is not appealable.
