Yes — you’re allowed to take one 3-credit hour course while on a Co-op work term.

Here’s how to make it work:

🎓 Choose wisely

• Evening or online courses are best — they won’t interfere with your work schedule

📄 If your class overlaps with work hours

• You’ll need written permission from your supervisor

• You’ll be expected to make up any missed time

✅ Plan ahead and speak with your Co-op Coordinator to make sure your course fits smoothly into your work term.
