Co-op Advice and Support
At SFU, we believe every student deserves access to meaningful work experiences. You don’t need a diagnosis or formal documentation to ask for support—if something is impacting your co-op journey, we’re here to help.
Our commitment is to create inclusive, student-centered co-op experiences that celebrate the diversity of our campus community. We offer support early, often, and without judgment, so you can focus on learning, growing, and succeeding.
