Studying Students
Who are "Studying Students"?
If you’ve been accepted into SFU Beedie Co-op, are registered in classes but not applying to co-op jobs, you are considered a “Studying Student”. You may have just come back from a work term or postponed starting applying to co-op jobs after completing your pre-requisite term. You are still in the co-op program but are just not seeking or working right now.
