Motion: That SGSC approves the proposed changes in GGR 1.4.7 (Co-operative Education).
Rationale:
The changes are intended to reflect current practice and to refer students to the Co-operative Education
website ratherthan to a list of graduate programs that needs on-going revision.
FROM: GGR 1.4.7 Co-operative Education
Co-operative education integrates work experience and graduate studies. The name reflects the co
operative relationship among the University, employer and student. Practical experience from work terms
is related tothe student's major interests within the graduate program. A number of graduate programs
have been approved, bythe relevant graduate program committee, for co-operative education (co-op).
These are listed below.
chemistry (MSc)
economics (MA)
environmental toxicology (MET)
mathematics (MSc)
resource and environmental management (MRM)
statistics and actuarial science (MSc)
The list ofapproved programs is subject to change. In addition, some faculties may permit co-op work
terms for individual students on a case-by-case basis. Interested students should consult the co-op co
ordinator.
The application to enrol inco-op is subject todepartmental approval. Each department has a specific
course for the co-op work term or practicum.
