COOP 4150

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 a fourth 12- to 16- week work term. The work term will be monitored by Co-op faculty. Students will identify and analyze new skills in relation to their work and develop professional learning goals for the term. Students will further assess their interest in and attitude towards their field of study and review and confirm their career plan for after graduation. Notes: 1. This course may be taken part-time over two consecutive semesters and will appear on the transcript as COOP 4150A and COOP 4150B. Successful completion of COOP 4150 requires completion of both courses and will be equivalent to one completed Co-op work term. Students registering in COOP 4150A are committing to register in COOP 4150B 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.
