UBC Science Co-op offers workshops for students to enhance their skills in resume and cover letter writing, and other skills. (We also offer an Employers Panel periodically to give students an idea of the types of employers and work term placements that are available.)
The Co-op Administration & Workshop Fee of $266.75 is due on Monday, January 23rd, 2023 for newly admitted students, (payable upon acceptance into the Co-op Program). Students who do not pay by the deadline will not have access to job postings on Scope. Online payment is accepted via credit or debit cards.

You may use this guide if you are accepted to a UBC Co-op program and are:
- Physically inside Canada with a valid study permit, or
