Co-op Procedure

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 Coordinator of Co-op & Career Services together with a Job Description prior to start. 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/employer evaluation form will be filled out by your Supervisor and sent directly to the Co-op & Career Services in a sealed stamped envelope or by e-mail. 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: ā€˜S’ (satisfactory).
If you have successfully completed your registered Co-op and made sure both evaluation forms are submitted, you will see an ā€˜S’ grade in the SIS system at the end of the (administrative) quarter during which you have completed your Co-op.
