Work Study

You must be scheduled to enrol in a co-op/internship work term and have academic enrolment in the semesters before and after the work term.

Applying for Work Study for co-op/internship employment

If you are scheduled to be in a work term, you will receive a communication directly to your Sheridan email with instructions on how to apply for Work Study. This email will be sent after day 10 of the semester before your work placement is scheduled to occur (e.g. students scheduled to be on their work term in Fall 2025 will receive an email by the end of May 2025).

You must be actively enrolled in a study term.

Students who are enrolled in a co-op/internship work term or between regularly scheduled academic terms are ineligible for part‑time Work Study.
