You must have a GPA of 2.0 or higher to begin your internship. Gateway to the Workplace is a pre-requisite for the internship. After successfully completing Gateway, you may register for the internship. Please check with the Foreign Student Advisor to determine if your visa has any special restrictions. Both the College and Co-op employers are required to make reasonable accommodations to enable students with disabilities to perform academic and work requirements.
Some internships are paid, some are voluntary, and some have a stipend.
Yes, but you cannot get a grade for the internship until you complete the internship and the seminar. Please note that each internship lasts 11 or 12 weeks because the internship cycle overlaps inter-session when classes are not in session. Please consult the Co-op internship calendar and the academic calendar for the exact starting and ending dates of internship cycle. Interns are graded on their performance evaluation from their internship employer, their seminar grade, achievement of the learning objectives they set for the internship, and their final evaluation essay. Often they are, but check the college catalog for specific program requirements.
