Acceptance into the Co-op and Internship Programs (the “Program”) is determined by the CMC, based on completion of two (2)semesters in good academic standing. Transfer students must complete at least one (1) semester at IIT before engaging in their firstwork term. Continuation in a Program is dependent upon maintaining good academic standing.2. Students in a Program must maintain, at all times, their file in the CMC database including, without limitation, a current resume andcontact information. IIT will only recognize the co-op/internship status of those students whose work experience is monitored by theCMC.3. Students who interview, or obtain an interview(s), for a co-op or internship position through the CMC must follow theCMC’s policy and procedure for interview sign-up and must show up on time on the interview day. CMC’s “No Show” policywill be enforced when necessary.4. Once students accept a co-op or internship offer with a company, they must submit the necessary paperwork needed to approve theco-op or internship. The CMC will then process the paperwork and enter the permit which allows them to register for a co-op orinternship course. Once students have accepted an offer and submitted their paperwork to the CMC for processing, they willNOT be allowed to interview and/or accept an offer with another company. Such behavior or attempted behavior is groundsfor the students’ immediate dismissal from participation in the Program.5. While participating in the Program, students are required to inform the CMC of all work-term conditions, including, withoutlimitation, hiring, discharge, work schedules, transfers, and the like. Additionally, students must immediately communicate ALLwork place changes and problems to their CMC advisor, and in any event, students must communicate with their CMC advisor at leastonce a semester.6. For students participating in the Co-op Program.

No changes maybe made to the plan without the consent of the work place supervisor, the faculty advisor, and the CMC advisor.7. For students participating in the Co-op Program. A minimum of two (2) full-time work terms for graduate students, or (3) threefull-time work terms for undergraduate students, with the same employer is required (assuming suitable performance, availability ofbudget/relevant work, and student not changing major). This minimum can be fulfilled with any combination of full- and/or part-timework terms (two (2) part-time terms are considered the equivalent of one (1) full-time work term) prior to the student’s completion ofhis/her degree program. As a Co-op is an academic program, start and end dates of work terms must follow academic semesters. YOUMAY NOT TURN IN CO-OP PAPERWORK AFTER THE PUBLISHED DEADLINE. DEADLINES FOR CO-OPREGISTRATION WILL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED.8. Students must register for the appropriate co-op or internship course with the IIT Registrar for each work term, includingsummer. Co-op students who fail to register with IIT during co-op work terms may be required to apply for readmission to IIT, andmay lose the grace period for loan repayments. Internship students working during the academic year must register for classes inorder to meet the required academic enrollment status.9. Students will be expected to participate in an evaluation process each term at the work site. The student and supervisor willdetermine objectives and learning goals at the beginning of the term and will evaluate progress toward those objectives at the end ofthe term, which will be submitted to the CMC in the Work Term Evaluation.10.
