BS Program : Co-op Policy

A student may request to waive one co-op block for various reasons (e.g., transfer student, BS/MS), but a minimum of 40 weeks must be completed in the remaining 4 blocks. To waive a co-op block, a student must submit documentation to the department head that shows the completion of 4 quarters of cooperative work experience. Up to 10 weeks of credit by experience may also be awarded for previous work experience.

Students should register for co-op on SIS and with the co-op office (Job Zone), which triggers evaluation forms to be sent to the employer. To receive credit for co-op, a student should:

• Complete on-line student co-op evaluation form and print out for review
• Submit forms to department office
• Review student evaluation and employer evaluation with department personnel as needed

Either of the following two-co-op schedules may be followed. Alternatively, you may download a pdf version of the co-op structure.
