GUIDELINES FOR EXEMPTION CREDIT AND WAIVER

Exemption Credit
(For Day and Extended Day Students)

After successfully completing the required pre-requisite course CEP121: Fundamentals of Professional Advancement, students who wish to apply for Exemption credit must meet with their assigned Co-op Faculty Advisor to discuss their qualifications, career goals and career experience.

Students who meet the following criteria, will be given the Pre-Application form for Exemption Credit or Waiver by their assigned Co-op Faculty Advisor.

In order to apply for Exemption Credit you must….

• Have work experience that is directly related to your major or career field.
  
• Have documented proof of eighteen months or more of continuous work experience, in one place at a minimum of 35 hours per week work schedule.
  
• Have taken and passed the required introductory courses in your major.
  
• Complete the assigned Exemption Credit paper in order to demonstrate in writing your ability to apply certain theoretical concepts to your work experience.
  Have the Exemption Credit paper approved by Co-op Faculty Advisor and Department Chair or Designee.

Waiver for Day Students who have attended primarily in the extended day sessions.

If you entered the college as a “Day” student, but have been attending Extended Day classes, you may be eligible for a waiver for CEP201.
Once you complete CEP121 Fundamentals of Professional Advancement, see your Co-op Advisor. We will check your registration records to verify that you have attended at least 80% of your courses in the extended day sessions. If so, you can complete the waiver form and be waived from CEP201. No credit is awarded for a waiver.

• Pick up and complete the Internship Waiver Form from the Co-op Central Office in M204
  
• Have at least three years of documented additional career related work experience beyond the 18 months qualifying time period for the Exemption credit paper.
  
• Have the Internship Waiver Form approved by the Department Chair or Designee.
