    Cooperative education (or co-operative education) and internships are methods of combining classroom-based education with practical work experience. A cooperative education experience ("co-op"), provides academic credit for structured job experience. Co-ops are full-time, paid or unpaid positions. Internships may be full-time or part-time, paid or unpaid positions.
    If students do not meet the minimum English requirements, they may still get conditionally accepted into the program of their choice with the condition of completing an approved English program prior to starting their chosen program.

    Students need to plan their accommodations well in advance of their arrival as all accommodation options fill up quickly, well before the start of the semester.
