Due to limited capacity in some engineering disciplines, not all students who apply to join the co-op program for September will be admitted at that time. Some students will have their admission deferred to a January start. 

Admission deferral decisions are based on factors such as class standing and academic performance.  

Every work term – regardless of timing – is a meaningful opportunity to learn, grow, and gain real-world experience. In fact, students often experience higher success rates in securing their first work term during the fall or winter terms due to less competition.

We encourage students from all backgrounds to apply, including indigenous persons, members of visible minorities, person with disabilities, and persons of all sexual orientations and gender identities. If you need accommodations during the application process due to a disability or other systemic barriers, please reach out to us at apsc.coop@ubc.ca for support.
