Students must satisfy departmental co-op requirements, which include a written report of the co-op work experience and an employer’s evaluation, to earn credit for the course. Minimum GPA and other co-op eligibility requirements vary among employers. Because the work performed by a student while on co-op is equivalent to the workload on a full-time student, a student on co-op assignment who is registered for CP credit shall be considered to have full-time status.
