Do I need to maintain a certain grade average to be a History Co-op student?
Yes. You must maintain a minimum 70 percent average in History courses and a minimum 60 percent in non-History courses. If your major average falls below 70, you won’t be able to stay in the program – so keep this in mind from the start.
Does it cost extra to be a History Co-op student?
Yes. In addition to your standard fees for academic study, you will pay an annual administrative fee. For more information, contact the Co-op Office: https://brocku.ca/ccee/studentsandfaculty/co-op- edu
