Centennial co-op and university pathways
Toronto, Ontario
Centennial offers co-op and named pathway resources, but each option has its own program, academic and destination conditions.

The current 3409 program page identifies co-op option 3419 and says qualified students transfer in semester 3. Complete at least 80% of semesters 1 and 2 courses combined. Complete COMM 160/161 by the end of semester 2 with C or higher (at least 60%). Maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5 and be legally eligible to work in Canada. Students apply through Career Services and Cooperative Education in semester 2. Meeting the minimums does not guarantee admission.
Centennial’s separate general co-op page still renders a malformed Software Engineering Technology “(ONLINE)” label. Use the 3409 program page for the 3409-to-3419 requirements and use the general page only for wider co-op-program guidance.
Centennial’s current Pathways Options page links separate outbound and inbound databases. Search by the exact originating program and verify the destination, credential, grades, credit or advanced standing, effective dates and residency rules in the current record. A Signature Pathway has its own conditions; no blanket transfer credit or guaranteed destination is claimed here.
ExperienceCentennial provides students and alumni with job postings, appointment booking, career tools and events. Career Services can support a search but does not secure or guarantee a job.

- Meet the academic conditions before treating co-op as an option.
- Request a named destination and current transfer conditions before budgeting time or credits.
