For Current TRSM Students

How do I know if I’m an Advanced Entry student?

Your eligibility for advanced entry into the Ted Rogers Co-op Program is based on your Top 6 high school grades based on meeting the minimum requirements*. If you were approved for Advanced Entry, you would have been notified within your offer of admission to TRSM.

What does Advanced Entry mean?

Advanced Entry means you are pre-approved for the Ted Rogers Co-op Program! It also gives you the opportunity to participate in the Co-op Prep Program as early as your 1st year, including access to our extensive Bootcamp offerings.

What steps do I need to take as a student with an Advanced Entry offer?

Even though you are guaranteed a spot and pre-approved, you will need to confirm your interest by meeting with a Career Coordinator; you will receive communication from our team, at the appropriate window for your program to confirm your interest in co-op and begin completing the Co-op Prep Program.

*Minimum requirements: Students achieving a minimum of 90% in their top 6 grades will be automatically eligible for advanced entry into the co-op programs in Accounting & Finance, Business Management, or Business Technology Management. Similarly, those attaining an 85% in their Top 6 grades will qualify for advanced entry into the co-op programs in Hospitality & Tourism Management and Retail Management. Meeting the minimum requirements for co-op advanced entry does not guarantee a space in the program. Given the competitive nature of the application process to our programs, applicants may need to present averages or grades that exceed the specified minimum.

As each situation is different depending on your transfer term and transferable courses, please follow the below steps to ensure you know when to apply for the co-op program:

1. Book an appointment with your Student Advisor to confirm what year you are in academically.
2. Book an appointment with a Career Coordinator to confirm when to apply based on your academic year and unique course schedule.
