First Year Engineering
Hi, I've been admitted into the engineering program, on ouac it says that I'm not in the co-op portion of the program. I'm strongly interested in the coop aspect and I was wondering if there was a way to get into coop for first year or does it start second? Basically I just need some information regarding the coop for engineering, thanks.

Co-op at mac is very flexible. It dosent matter what program you applied to you can just go to the co-op office and sign up for the program, and yes it starts first year (or whenever you want it to start) you just need to have a total of 12 months of work experience to complete the program

Coop vs non-coop doesn't matter. Just sign up during the year at the coop office, pay your 100$ fee, and you get access to OSCAR coop jobs, along with the jobs you might apply for on your own  |

Contrary othe last post, you don't have to "qualify" for the program, so don't worry about that. What he means is that it can be difficult to get a co-op qualifying job out of your first year. It's do-able, but usually only with connections. But you can simply sign up on your first day of school by walking into the co-op office and registering for the co-op course (it's a few hours total, either at night or on a Saturday)
