What do International Students Need to Know?
International students who would like to participate in the Co-op program need to be aware of the following:
- International students who join the Co-op program must obtain a Co-op Work Permit. Additional information on this process will be provided to students once they have confirmed their acceptance to the Co-op program.
- International students must pay the Co-op application and program fee; however, WKEXP tuition fees are included in their Program Tuition. It is important for international students who are considering the Co-op program to be aware that when an international student is on a Co-op work term and registered in a WKEXP course, an installment of program tuition will be assessed unless the program tuition has been fully paid. This means that an international student who joins the Co-op program will need to pay their program tuition at a more accelerated rate than a student who is not in the Co-op program.
Questions about Co-op and International Student Program Tuition should be directed to the Student Service Center.
