🔹 If my Co-op program requires me to do three work terms but I am only able to secure two by the time I finish my degree, will I still be eligible to graduate 🔹 What happens if I don’t complete all my Co-op work terms 🔹 Can I graduate without finishing Co-op 🔹 Will I still get my degree if I miss a Co-op term 🔹 Do I need all three work terms to graduate

Students who do not complete the required number of Co-op work terms will still graduate from their academic program, but not with the Co-op Option. The Co-op designation is only awarded to students who fulfill all work term requirements.

Yes — you’ll still graduate from your degree program, even if you don’t complete all required Co-op work terms.

However:

• ❌ You won’t graduate with the Co-op Option on your transcript

• ✅ You’ll still earn your degree as long as all academic requirements are met

• 🧭 Speak with your Co-op Coordinator to explore last-minute options or alternatives

Completing all work terms is essential for the Co-op designation, but not for your overall graduation.

📘 Helpful Definitions:

• Co-op Option: A designation on your transcript showing you completed all required Co-op work terms

• Work term requirement: The number of placements needed to qualify for the Co-op Option

• Academic graduation: Completing your degree program regardless of Co-op participation

📝 Special Notes:

• You may still benefit from Co-op experience even without the formal designation

• Your Coordinator can help you document your work experience for future applications

• International students should confirm how incomplete Co-op affects post-grad work eligibility
