Admission to the University of Guelph’s Co-operative Education program from high school is primarily processed through the Ontario Universities’ Application Centre (OUAC) for degree co-op programs or Ontario Colleges (OCAS) for associate diploma co-op programs. When applying through high school, admission to co-op occurs at the same time you’re accepted into your program. 

If you have already began your studies, it may not be too late for you to apply through our in-course admission process for degree co-op programs. 

In-course admission is available to students in their first year of studies for undergraduate degree co-op programs. For degree programs with a Fall in-course application deadline, students that will have more than 3.0 credits at the time of admission cannot pursue co-op as they are unable to follow the prescribed schedule listed in the Undergraduate Calendar for their program. For degree programs with a Winter in-course application deadline, students that will have more than 6.0 credits at the time of admission cannot pursue co-op as they are unable to follow the prescribed schedule listed in the Undergraduate Calendar for their program.
