maintaining the academic requirements for internship eligibility as well as complying with the program
requirements.
To be provisionally allowed to participate in the internship process students must be full-time students in
CLEAR academic standing with a minimum CGPA of 2.67 (B-) after second year. Only students who are
eligible for full-time registration at the time they apply for the internship program and at the time they
expect to start their internship are eligible for access to the Internship Program. Students are formally
enrolled by the Department in a work term once they have secured an internship position. Students should
refer to the Internship website for general admission requirements.
