Registration
While no academic credits are assigned, each student must register for 3000:301
Cooperative Education in the same manner that a student registers for any other
University course. See department advisor before enrolling for this course.
A cooperative program fee for each work period is charged. Upon completion of a
work period, a statement will appear on each student’s official transcript listing the
course number, title and name of the employer. In the place of a grade,
“credit” or “no credit” will be given, depending upon the student’s satisfactory or
unsatisfactory completion of the following:
• Work performance as evaluated by the employer.
• Written work report as approved by department chair and cooperative education
staff.
• Cooperative Work Period Summary form.
Usually, work progresses satisfactorily on the job and a grade of “credit” is
assigned at the end of the semester. If all the above conditions are not met, a
change of grade to “no credit” will be submitted.
