Does a year of Co-op count as an academic year?

[egoo45]

Hey,

I personally listed them under personal history as employments since they were paid Co-op terms. (I have the paystubs, the T4s and the NOEs). They still show up in the transcript so I don't think it's that big of a deal.

I have similar Coop related question

I studied for two years and part of that education I did two coop terms each being 4 months. My Course period Jan 2012 - Dec 2013 which I have mentioned in Education history as well as in personal history and transcript says the same.

My coop was Sep 2012 - Dec 2012 and second was May 2013-Aug 2013 both records are included as part of transcript under coop term.

My question do I have to explicitly mentioned coop activity as employment under personal history.? or since those are part of education course I don't need to mention that.

If I mention does coop falls under Employment or Educational activity .?

I did mine on work and checked the button that this was under an academic program. However, I know I will need to ask the employer for the reference letter.

I didn't included that as part of work history since it doesn't add any point. It's just under personal history.

How do you include it under personal history? Is that after ITA?

Well it's actually a little more tricky than that. I did 2 years of an engineering diploma. These two years had the summers off, so it was 4 study semesters in total (2 academic years). So I'm claiming a Diploma of Engineering with 2 full academic years. (I have an official diploma form the university and everything)

After graduating with that diploma I finished my bachelor's degree, which is a continuation of the diploma in terms of studies. In total for this section I did 4 study semesters and 4 co-op semesters with no time off in between. So in total 8 academic terms in 3 years (Sept 2012 - May 2015). For my bachelor's degree should I claim 3 or 4 years? My worst fear is that it only counts as 2 years then I lose a lot of points :/

Any thoughts?

@moelaghil, I am so much interested in knowing what happed with you ? did you get approved for 3 year degree or 4. my point is if I can claim my 2 co-op term as an academic year or not ?

Please guide me in the process. thanks.
