Sample Resignation Letters
If you want to resign from a co-op, practicum or internship experience, please contact your
advisor/program supervisor before leaving your placement.
For more information on resigning, such as how much notice to provide, please refer to Leaving a Job
Without Burning Bridges from ALIS.
We also contacted Employment Standards and asked if it was acceptable to submit a resignation by
email or text message and their response was that it was fine, so long as the notice was in writing.
However, you should make sure all communications are professional in tone and that the date of your
resignation is clearly stated.
