Students deviating from this schedule must consult with their academic advisor.Sample Careers:Software developerGame programmerMobile application developerWeb infrastructure developerUser experience designerSystems architectCo-OpTo be eligible to continue in the Co-op program, students must meet a minimum 70% cumulative average requirement after second semester, as well as meet all work term requirements. Please refer to the Co-operative Education program policy with respect to work term performance grading, work term report grading and program completion requirements.For additional program information students should consult with their Co-op Co-ordinator and Co-op Faculty Advisor, listed on the Co-operative Education web site.Students are advised to plan their schedule of studies well in advance so that they can take all required prerequisites for later (especially 4000 level) courses. Students should note that some 4000 level courses are only given in alternate years. Failure to plan may result in the inability to take a particular senior CIS course. Not all sequences may be viable. Please check with the CIS Co-op faculty advisor for semester planning.
