What's required?

How to apply

To apply to EOS Co-op, you must:

• be a UVic student enrolled in a full-time major or honours program in EOS (including combined programs)
• have and maintain a minimum B average
• submit an application form

Graduating with co-op designation

If you successfully complete the requirements of the co-op program, you'll earn a co-op distinction on your degree when you graduate. Undergraduate students must complete four work terms to graduate with co-op designation. Graduate students must complete two to three work terms.

When to
apply to co-op

When to apply to co-op

If you're an undergraduate student, you can apply to join EOS Co-op anytime in your first or second year, but no later than the start of your third year.

If you’re a graduate student, contact your co-op office to see if co-op will fit with your academic schedule.

EOS Work
Experience Program

EOS Work Experience Program

Not sure if co-op is right for you? As an earth and ocean sciences student, you can apply to the EOS Work Experience Program at any time during your degree and complete two paid work terms instead of four. You’ll receive the same benefits and support as a co-op student, and you can choose to transfer into the EOS Co-op Program later on (if it's still early enough in your studies).

Program requirements and the application process are the same as for co-op—please see the other tabs on this page.
