Students are responsible for their own transportation and associated costs in order to complete work term requirements. Work locations may not always be readily accessible by public transportation.
Students who do not secure the first work term by the start of the work term semester will be offered the option to enrol in the 14 credit Career Management in Canada co-op alternative. This co-op alternative involves one 3 hour on campus session per week and 12 hours per week of online and out-of-class activity.

Career Management in Canada may be delivered at the Doon, Waterloo, or Cambridge campus.
Career Management in Canada is only an alternative for the first co-op work term of the program, students will still complete at least one mandatory co-op work term if they choose Career Management in Canada.
