Admission and Fees - Undergraduate

Admission

Ontario Secondary School Students

To be considered for admission to Brock's Co-operative Education program, you must first apply to the University through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC). When completing the form, be sure to check the section marked ‘Co-operative Education' as opposed to the regular degree program.

Admission to a co-op program at Brock requires a minimum average of 80% in 12 university level courses. Please note that meeting the minimum average does not guarantee admission. Applicants not accepted to a co-op program will automatically be considered for admission to the comparable regular degree program.

Year 1 Admissions

If you are a Brock student who is enrolled in a full-time non-co-op program, you may apply for admission to co-op following completion of your first year (in May of Year 1). Admission to co-op from Year 1 is competitive and subject to the following conditions:

• You must have a minimum major average of 70% and a minimum non-major average of 60% , however meeting these minimums does not guarantee admission as spaces will be filled by applicants with the highest averages first
• You must be a full time student
• You must be legally able to work in Canada
• You are required to submit a resume to support your request. A personal interview may also be required.

Factors that may influence admission decisions: 

• The number of co-op positions that  may become available as the result of other students withdrawing or being removed from co-op 
• The number of positions that the co-op office anticipates will be available for co-op students from the particular degree program
• Assessment of candidate suitability  (an interview may be conducted in order to determine your suitability for co-op). 

Fee Information 

As with all co-op programs in Canada, Brock has established fees which are comparable to other post secondary institutions offering co-op education. All co-op students pay an administrative fee in addition to regular tuition. This fee helps the University to recover a portion of the cost of maintaining and promoting co-op programs. Administrative costs include salaries, travel expenses, telephone charges and the printing and mailing of résumés and promotional materials. Brock does not receive any government assistance to operate co-op.

To ease payments for you and your family, installments have been divide to coincide with certain co-op activities as indicated in the chart below:

If you decided to pursue a 4th or 5th work term,  fees charged will be according to the rates that are in effect at the time the work term takes place. Please note: The installments charged in Year 1 and Year 2 are non-refundable.  Fees are subject to change.
