Updated: September 15, 2025

working students

Student employee status is granted to students who are employed during the academic year. The conditions for eligibility and the terms of application are set out in this document. You must apply for this status when you register, using the working student status application form. It is granted by the Teaching and Equivalence Committee after reviewing the student's file and project, and upon request submitted to the registrar's office.

Students with employee status are eligible for:

  • Exemption from attendance for all classes. However, if their activities allow, they have the option of attending all classes as normal.
  • The possibility of replacing Continuous Assessment (CC) with a Final Assessment (CT) exam, when their activities prevent them from attending all the classes that make up a course assessed by CC. The assessment methods must be specified in a learning contract for the year or for each semester, no later than seven days after receipt of the favorable decision. If the student does not respond, they will be considered as participating in the CC.
