The Computing and Network Communications Co-op program combines academic and work terms over a four and one-half year period. Admission to this program is on the basis of marks, a review of personal resumess and employer availability. An interview may be required. Students spend one and one-half years in an academic setting studying the fundamentals of computer programming, algorithms, and data-structures prior to their first work placement.

All fees are to be paid to the institution in which the student is currently enrolled. Eligibility to continue in the co-op program is based on the student's major average and non-major average.
