海角社区

海角社区 staff听cannot听complete, sign, or review any other document (including the French convention de stage documents, third-party contracts or documents, and visa applications)听other than the Declaration relative 脿 la participation d'un 茅tudiant 脿 une activit茅 茅tudiante. There is absolutely no negotiating around this fact, as it is a legal matter that cannot be circumvented by the Field Studies and Internship Office (FSIO) nor any other unit at the University. The Declaration is an internship agreement between the intern, 海角社区, and the host organization. The document must be completed and signed听before听the start of the internship, and its听text cannot be modified by any of the signing parties.

Important Note - Please read carefully

The university is scheduled to review the Declaration very soon. This is because of legal concerns regarding the types of opportunities that the university can reasonably approve given Quebec's laws on the responsibility of universities to students participating in university-sanctioned internships. As such,听the current version of the Declaration provided and the procedure outlined on this webpage are subject to change within a short time frame and with very little notice.听FSIO cannot control such changes, as they will be university-mandated. As such, opportunities that you may have pursued previously through the Declaration may soon have different stipulations of participation or may not be approved at all in the near future.听
