You can withdraw from Co-op, but it’s not automatic — and timing matters.
Here’s what to do:
-
✅ Speak with your Co-op Coordinator as soon as you’re considering withdrawal
-
⚠️ There may be conditions or consequences, especially if you’re already committed to a work term
-
🕓 Early notice helps avoid academic or financial penalties
Your Coordinator will help you understand your options, explore alternatives, and make an informed decision.
