Evaluating your RIT co-op student is an important part of the cooperative education program at RIT. The evaluation gives the student, their academic department and the Office of Cooperative Education and Career Services valuable feedback regarding their performance on-the-job.

We are now using an on-line system for completing your evaluations of RIT co-op students. All employers are encouraged to utilize the new on-line system, because the results will be reported in group data and used by the academic departments for assessment, curriculum planning and student advising.

EMPLOYER PROCESS FOR COMPLETING ON-LINE EVALUATION OF CO-OP STUDENTS:

1. Near the end of a student's co-op work block, the company representative or supervisor will receive an e-mail message from our office with a user name, password and Web site link. You will see your co-op student's name..

2. Once you log on to the system, Click on the that particular student to view and complete the evaluation. There is a 2 hour limit, so please save or submit your form. A tip: Write and save your comments into a word processor. Copy and paste this into our form.

3. Click on “submit” to send your completed evaluation to us.
Please Note: Changes to the evaluation can only be made before you submit the evaluation. Once you submit the form, modifications can only be made by calling us.

4. Print a copy of the evaluation to review with the student when discussing their performance during the co-op. You may also want to print a copy for your records.

Employers who are unable to use the on-line system must notify us, mxboce@rit.edu. We will work with you to help you complete a co-op evaluation form.

A Help Guide is available for you to download with screenshots of the online co-op evaluation process.
