• Apply to the relevant academic unit(s) for approval to enrol in double degree options.
• There is no common application form or registration process.
• You must apply to the Faculty of Graduate Studies and to the relevant academic unit(s) to be admitted in accordance with the existing policies of each.
• Because of the wide variety of academic backgrounds of applicants, specific degree program requirements may vary from student to student.

• Once admitted, you must register separately in each academic unit.
• You will register in both degrees concurrently and must follow the regulations of each.
• You must inform the Graduate Admissions and Records Office when you have been admitted to a double degree program.
• Each academic unit will maintain separate academic records of students in double degree programs.
• Fees for double degree programs will be assessed in accordance with existing regulations.

Students in approved double degree programs which span an undergraduate and a graduate program must have the permission of the Dean of Graduate Studies to register concurrently as a graduate and undergraduate student.

If, at any time, a student terminates participation in a particular double degree program, permission does not extend to pursuing any other degrees concurrently with a graduate degree. Only those grades for courses that appear on the Faculty of Graduate Studies record will be used for the purposes of making graduate studies awards, determining adherence to the Faculty of Graduate Studies academic performance regulations and assessing graduate fees.

Separate degrees will be awarded upon completion of the requirements applicable to the particular degree.

What is co-op?

Co-operative education (co-op) is a learning strategy that lets you:

• alternate your academic studies with paid, relevant work experience in your field of study
• enrich your academic studies by drawing on practical, real-world experience from your work terms
• develop competencies to excel in the workplace
• potentially pursue work terms related to your graduate research or project

Can you do co-op?

Graduate co-op may be available to students who are pursuing thesis and non-thesis (or professional) degrees. Participation is optional, and admission is determined after consultation with your graduate adviser and department. Contact the co-op program in your degree area for details, or email coopinfo@uvic.ca.

Note: Co-op is not open to one-year graduate degrees, graduate certificates and diplomas, and non-degree graduate students.
