2. The semester you are scheduled to earn 24 credits, you meet on an individual basis with your Co-op Faculty Advisor and decide when you will register for your first internship and seminar. Click here
3. You and your advisor will decide on possible internship sites that will meet your learning objectives and career goals. In addition, you have a number of tasks to complete during these meetings, including polishing your resume, obtaining a Permit to Register, and deciding on internship seminar options.
4-5. You interview with employers (one at a time) until placement is secured. Depending on whether your Co-op Faculty Advisor also manages the internship site, referral for an interview may be a one-step or two-step process.
4a. If the internship site is managed by another Co-op faculty member, you set an appointment to meet with him/her to discuss possible referral. If the site is still available and you meet the qualifications, you are then given an external referral to the internship site.. If not, you are referred back to your Co-op Faculty Advisor to discuss other internship options. You begin the referral process again.
4b. If the internship site is available or is managed by your Co-op Faculty Advisor, you are referred directly to the internship site to be interviewed.
You are accepted by the internship site for your internship. If you are not accepted, you meet with your Co-op Faculty Advisor, review your options, and begin the referral and interview process again (Steps 3 - 5) until an internship is secured.
6. You take the permit to register to Co-op Central, M204. Check your registration online to see that you are registered for an internship and seminar. Be sure you have two course codes: the internship and a concurrent seminar.
7. You take the internship and seminar. Make sure that you follow the internship and seminar calendars as they differ from the college calendar
8. Upon completion of the internship and seminar, you meet with your Co-op Faculty Advisor for a final evaluation conference to assess learning on your internship, review your employer evaluation, and seminar performance. You obtain a grade for CEP201 and discuss whether to take an optional internship.
9. An additional part-time and/or full-time internship may be a good option in specific cases. Discuss this possibility with your Co-op Faculty Advisor. If you elect an optional internship, repeat Steps 2 to 7 to complete your second internship
Steps To Complete The Semester That You Are Scheduled To Reach 24 Credits
Schedule an appointment with your Co-op Faculty Advisor to discuss your internship options. Complete this early in the term. Bring your résumé, your resume jump drive, and IOL (Internship Opportunity List) list.
You will need a permit to register from your Co-op Faculty Advisor. The permit will indicate the correct section for your internship and the correct seminar section (e.g., CPA041, CPB041, and CPC041).
Students who are registered with the International Student Office may need to get their permit to register for internship approved by that office.
Note that no matter how many credits you have, whenever you have a question about when or where you should take your internship, please feel free to call, e-mail or schedule an appointment to see your assigned Co-op Advisor.
