Normally students cannot take courses for which they lack the prerequisites or for which they do not meet course restrictions. Exceptions may be allowed only in extraordinary circumstances and with permission of the instructor. Exceptions that would result in a violation of university regulations and exceptions for students refused admission into the Goodman School of Business or who have been adjudicated out of any Goodman School of Business program will also require Dean's approval. Students should submit override requests on-line at portal.bus.brocku.ca

Faculty of Business regulations regarding requirements for approval of a Letter of Permission are outlined at bus.brocku.ca/current/undergraduate/handbook/letterofperm

Students must register with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario on a conditional basis at the beginning of the first work period. Chartered Accountant students must accumulate a minimum of 30 months work experience, six months of which must follow the completion of the Bachelor of Accounting degree. In addition to the current fees for courses in academic study terms, Co-op Accounting students are assessed an annual administrative fee (see the Schedule of Fees).

The Bachelor of Accounting Co-op program is not open to international VISA students.

All students in the Co-operative Education program are required to read, sign and adhere to the terms of the Student Regulations Waiver and Co-op Student Handbook (brocku.ca/co-op/current-students/co-op-student-handbooks) as articulated by the Co-op Programs Office.

Each four-month co-operative education work term must be registered. Once students are registered in a co-op work term, they are expected to fulfill their commitment. If the placement accepted is for more than one four-month work term, students are committed to complete all terms. Students may not withdraw from or terminate a work term without permission from the Director, Co-op Program Office.
