Transferring into co-op

• All students are eligible to apply to transfer into their program’s co-op or work term option.
• If, as a part of a student’s accommodations, they are on a reduced courseload, their timing for transfer into the co-op or work term option may be different than communicated. Students with reduced course loads must reach out to their student advisor and / or the Experiential Learning team at co-op@durhamcollege.ca before the end of semester 1 to discuss any potential changes to the timing of transfer and the work term.
• Should a student require accommodations, they should contact and register with the Access and Support Centre.

Participating in the co-op work term / Workplace accommodations

• Once transferred into their program’s co-op option, the Experiential Learning team will work with students and their accessibility coach from the Access and Support Centre (ASC) to ensure appropriate and reasonable supports are in place for job search and interview assistance. Students are encouraged to work with their accessibility coach to set up a field access plan specific to workplace accommodations.
• Students are encouraged to discuss their field access plan with their co-op co-ordinator to assist in self-marketing and advocacy.

Depending on course completion, the timing of the co-op work term may change based on when courses from subsequent semesters have been fully completed.
