Work Sequence Preference, Fall 2013 admission

 Printable Word version of the introductory statement and sequence form

When we offer BBA students admission to the Co-op Option, we will indicate which sequence of work and study terms they will follow. We welcome you to identify the sequence you prefer. We cannot, however, guarantee that you will be assigned to your preferred sequence if you are offered admission.

You will be considered for admission only to the sequence(s) you specify. Students who are willing to accept either sequence may have a better chance of receiving an offer of admission than students who are willing to accept only one particular sequence.

All decisions are final and changes will not be accepted at a later date.

All candidates from Business and Economics students will be given an introductory statement to read before their admission interview, and to check a box saying they have read the statement. BBA students will be asked to complete a form on the same sheet. All candidates will hand the sheet to their interviewers.

Note: The majority of Business Co-op students will follow Sequence One. Only about 50 students will follow Sequence Two.

Sequence One, BBA

BBA students in Sequence One apply to jobs that begin in May 2014 and last four or eight months.

• Most students following this sequence will begin four-month work terms  in May 2014, January 2015 and September 2015.
• A few employers recruiting for the spring work term may hire students for an eight-month term. Students hired for these positions complete their first and second work terms from May through December 2014, and their third work term from September to December 2015.
• Some chartered accounting firms may ask students hired for the winter 2014 work term to return for the winter 2015 term instead of in fall 2015.

Sequence Two, BBA

BBA students in Sequence Two apply to jobs that begin in September 2014 and last four or eight months.

Students in Sequence Two who secure a four-month position for fall 2014 will follow this sequence of work and study terms:

• Students following this sequence will complete four-month work terms beginning in September 2014, May 2015 and January 2016.
• This sequence may not be suitable for students who plan to seek a career in chartered accounting, as CA firms are not likely to hire students enrolled in this sequence.
• Students in this sequence may not be eligible to participate in certain international academic exchanges.

Students in Sequence Two who secure an eight-month position for fall 2014 will follow this sequence of work and study terms:

• Students following this sequence  will complete an eight-month work term from September 2014 through April 2015, and their final work term in the  winter of 2016.
• This sequence is suitable for students hoping to pursue employment with chartered accounting firms.

BBA students will be asked to check the one statement that best reflects their preference:

• I am willing to accept admission to co-op only if I am in Sequence One. 
   
• I prefer Sequence One, but will accept Sequence Two if it is assigned to me.
   
• I am willing to accept admission to co-op only if I am in Sequence Two.
   
• I prefer Sequence Two, but will accept Sequence One if it is assigned to me.
   
• I am willing to accept either Sequence One or Sequence Two; I have no preference.
