The Cooperative Education Program agreement may be discontinued if the employers do not provide the students with career-related work experience or if the students do not meet the accepted level of performance as defined by the employers. To be eligible for the program, students must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative QPA for their first four semesters. The students are required to submit a resume and a one-page statement of purpose. Interviews for these positions take place through the Career Center 's on-campus recruitment program. Adherence to all policies and procedures established by this program is mandatory.
Students have the option to interview with multiple prospective employers.
The Career Center must be notified at least 24 hours before the time of the interview if a cancellation is necessary. No more than one eight-month cooperative education work assignment will be given to each eligible student. They may also work any additional summers if not attending school. If the work defers a student's graduation beyond one semester, approval must be received from the student's advisor. Participating students contemplating changes in major or transfers to another university should immediately consult with their department advisors and co-op employers.
