Students perform professional work related to Computer Science for which they are paid. Students work full time during the term for which they are registered. Students must complete a student co-op work report for each term for which they are registered; students are also evaluated each term by their employer. A satisfactory grade is given for co-op when both a completed student co-op work report and a completed, corresponding employer evaluation are received and when both documents are generally consistent.

Co-op is an optional part of the MS in Computer Science degree. Graduate students are eligible to do a maximum of 364 days of co-op and students must register for co-op by the end of add/drop period for the appropriate term.
