COOP 1150

Students will integrate academic studies with a full-time, paid work experience in a program related position with an employer organization. Students will apply academic knowledge and acquire more competence through relevant experience in their field of study while completing their first 12- to 16- week work term. The work term will be monitored by Co-op faculty. Students will examine how the application of new skills affects their work and their relationships with others in the organization. They will also assess their interest in and attitude towards their field of study. Notes: 1. This course may be taken part-time over two consecutive semesters and will appear on the transcript as COOP 1150A and COOP 1150B. Successful completion of COOP 1150 requires completion of both courses and will be equivalent to one completed Co-op work term. Students registering in COOP 1150A are committing to register in COOP 1150B in the subsequent term. The same grade will be assigned to both courses regardless of outcome. 2. Credits for Co-op work term courses may only be used to satisfy graduation requirements for the Co-op option of designated programs. These credits do not contribute to the overall required academic credits. 3. Students must register for their Co-op work term only at the advisement of the Co-op office. Should a student accept a Co-op position and not follow the normal registration procedure, the Co-op office will proceed with manual registration for that student and Co-op work term course.
