Co-op/Internship Program Eligibility:

Co-op/Internship Program Process:

How are students selected by the employers?

As part of the Co-op/Internship application process, students upload their resumes into OWL CareerLink. Employers then contact students they are interested in to set up interviews. The Career Center also encourages students to search for positions. Students who accept Co-op/Internship employment offers must complete the required enrollment in their departmental Co-op/Internship course if they are international students or are seeking elective credit. In order to receive elective credit, the academic department must give written approval; otherwise, Co-op/Internship credit is an additive credit. All I-20 forms must be updated prior to beginning a Co-op/Internship assignment. Acceptance and placement into a Co-op/Internship position is not guaranteed. A student can find his/her own Co-op/Internship employer. However, the employer must be approved by the Career Center before being accepted. Please note, positions that are full-time with benefits are not eligible for the Co-op/Internship Program.

How are students graded?

Students are asked to evaluate their work experience and review their learning objectives. Employers are also asked to provide feedback on the student's performance. The Co-op/Internship assignment is recorded on the student's transcript and is graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory.
