and Professional Development. I’m looking forward to sharing

and graduate students specifically how to submit an application for

retroactive admission for a Fall 2019 work term. I’ve been an active

member of the Industrial Experience team for several years.

-Not all students who apply for formal admission will be accepted which

is why we have another application format called retroactive admission.

-If you are applying for potential internships and meet the eligibility

criteria and policies for INEX, you can mention that Co-op employers in

Quebec are potentially eligible for a tax credit which covers a significant

portion of an intern’s salary. More information is available on the Co-op

website.

-The Work Term and Reflective Learning courses for undergraduate

students are Pass/Fail courses that are not for credit and do not count

towards your GPA. Work Term course requirements include submitting

a work term report which is assessed by your respective program

Academic Director (an Engineering and Computer Science faculty

member) as well as an employer evaluation. Reflective Learning course

requirements include contributing to discussion forums on Moodle about

workplace topics. The requirements will be explained in detail once you

have been accepted into the option.
