CO-OP fees cover the entire cost of administering the CO-OP program and give you access to many services.

As soon as you are admitted into CO-OP, you will benefit from a host of services. 

Throughout your time in the CO-OP program, you will continue to benefit from a variety of services to help you succeed. The CO-OP team will guide you before and during your placements. You will continue to have access to one-on-one counselling (CV reviews, assistance in finding a placement, mock interviews, etc.), as well as career fairs, information sessions and feedback on your placement’s mid-term evaluation.

CO-OP fees are like membership dues and give you access to numerous services. These fees are mandatory regardless of how you go about finding a placement.

In short, the CO-OP office is committed to your professional development and career success.

Programs for which CO-OP is optional

You must first pay CO-OP fees during the term that precedes your first work placement. After that, CO-OP fees are due at the start of each placement.

The amount is set each year by the Registrar’s Office. CO-OP fees help pay for the program’s management and services.

  • Canadian citizens or permanent residents: $820
  • International students: $1,030

If you don’t get a placement, the CO-OP fees that precede the first placement are non-refundable; however, you are not required to pay CO-OP fees for a term for which you have not been matched with any employers.

Programs for which CO-OP is mandatory

You must pay CO-OP fees (announced every year by the Registrar) during each study term. CO-OP fees help pay for the program’s management and services.

  • Canadian citizens or permanent residents: $615
  • International students: $772.50

Even if you don’t get a placement, CO-OP fees are linked to the program’s tuition fees and must be paid prior to every study term. 

Other fees

During the sessions you’re doing your work terms, you don’t pay ancillary fees (which include fitness membership fees). As a result, you would need to purchase a membership (available at a reduced cost). 

All CO-OP students are billed for the U-Pass in the fall. However, depending on your situation, you may request an exemption

CO-OP fees are due at the same time as tuition fees. Be sure to check the list of  important dates and deadlines on the University’s website to find out when this is.

Payments and late fees are handled by  Financial resources.
