Two easy ways to apply :
1 - Reserved placement
When applying for regular admission to the University, you can also apply for direct admission to any co-op program except Biomedical Science, Translation and graduate-level programs. The average mark required to be eligible for direct admission into co-op is
- 80% or higher for students admitted in first year.
- 75% or higher for applicants who have completed at least two years of CEGEP.
To keep your reserved placement in co-op, you must obtain a cumulative grade point average of at least 8.0 and meet the admission requirements of your chosen co-op program until you are formally admitted into the Program (April 30 of your second year of studies). Otherwise, you will lose your reserved spot in co-op and have to compete with regular applicants for admission.
If you apply for direct admission and are not granted a placement, don't worry. You can re-apply during your second year at University (see section 2)
2 - Applying once at the University of Ottawa
You can apply for co-op after you have registered at the University of Ottawa. Application deadlines and admission requirements vary from program to program, so be sure to check individual program pages online for specific information.
