Because credit earned as a result of portfolio evaluation earns the grade of S, and the grade of S is not computed in the grade-point average, the grade from such credit is not applicable toward honors. Students should be aware that they are required to complete a minimum of 15 semester hours of graded coursework to satisfy the resident credit requirement for a bachelor's degree. Students should see an advisor. Students should note that tuition and fees are subject to change. Credit is based on the successful completion of specific academic requirements and the new learning outlined in a learning contract.
Students can enroll in Co-op at any time during the year.
A variety of course formats permits UMUC students, regardless of location, to participate in Cooperative Education. To be eligible to apply to the program, a student must be seeking a degree from UMUC and be employed in a position directly related to the student's field of study. The position must offer an opportunity for significant new learning. Co-op positions may be paid or unpaid, part time or full time. For students pursuing a new position or a career change, the Co-op staff provides assistance in conducting a job search and locating professional opportunities through the job development program.
