The University of Windsor is proud to offer students the opportunity to participate in a co-operative education program. The fees that students are charged to participate cover the cost of delivering the program to eligible students, and to support activities inherent to the co-op and internship program. Like tuition fees, the co-op and internship fees are set through the University of Windsor's Board of Governors on an annual basis and are subject to change.
Co-op/internship fees help cover specific expenses such as:
- Costs associated with creating quality job opportunities and securing work placements for students
- Access to assistance in preparing for work terms and an employment readiness program
- Coordination of job postings, job interviews, and sending out job offers
- Communication costs (with students and employers)
- Purchase and maintenance of a software program that assists with the placement process
- Assistance with work permit procurement
- Travel costs related to completing work term assessments with employers and students on work terms
Please note that co-op and internship fees are not job placement fees nor direct service fees to individual students.

If you are receiving funding from the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) or anticipate receiving funding through OSAP, please refer to the information below. Note that international students are not eligible to apply for or receive OSAP.
Students participating in the co-op or internship program must pay additional fees per term according to a standard schedule for each program. Any students deviating from the standard program work/study sequencing whereby the timing of the fees being charged is altered, can only claim the co-op/internship fee for OSAP as per the standard work/study sequencing. This may result in students receiving OSAP funding for the co-op/internship fee that is not in sync with the timing of being charged the fee. However, the student will receive the same overall amount from OSAP. In this case, it will be up to the student to budget the fee revenue accordingly.
