Co-op & Career Services > Co-op Procedure

Step 1: Find a Co-op.
You can do this through open applications, networking, and/or applying to positions advertised by the Co-op & Career Services

Step 2: Register your Co-op.
You do this by filling out and submitting the Registration Form for approval to the Head of the Co-op and Career Services together with a Job Description. The job description can be written by you or your Co-op supervisor and needs to be typed up in a Word document. You can submit the form and the job description as a hardcopy or by e-mail.

Step 3: Start your Co-op.
You receive an e-mail that will notify you whether your Co-op has been approved or not. If your Co-op has been approved, an e-mail will also be sent out to your Co-op supervisor. As soon as you have received the approval e-mail you can officially start your Co-op. If your Co-op is not approved you may want to get in touch with the Co-op & Career Services to find out why and to receive assistance.

Step 4: Complete and evaluate your Co-op.
When you complete 400 working hours it is time for the Co-op evaluation.  A performance evaluation form will be filled out by your Supervisor and sent to the Co-op & Career Services. You can obtain a copy of this evaluation from the Co-op & Career Services so that you know the feedback of your supervisor and can learn from this. There is also a Student Evaluation Form with some questions about your Co-op that you need to fill out and submit as a hardcopy or by e-mail to the Co-op & Career Services.

Step 5: Receive your Co-op grade: ‘S’ (satisfactory).
If you have successfully completed your registered Co-op and made sure both evaluation forms are submitted, you will see an ‘S’ grade in the SIS system at the end of the (administrative) quarter during which you have completed your Co-op.
