Procedure:

• For most students, they will be participating in a paid work experience (co-op) for 20 hours per week during that portion of their program.
• Students will meet with the Co-op Coordinator early in their program (and throughout the program).
• If a student is unable to attend the co-op, or if a co-op placement has not been found, the student must attend the college (and meet with their co-op coordinator regularly) until a placement has been secured. Being absent from the college or co-op reflects on the student’s attendance record equally to classroom sessions.
• Students are fully responsible for having acquired their co-op work permit prior to being placed. If a student does not possess their co-op work permit when starting classes, the college will remind the student to apply for the permit immediately and any delay in placement due to lack of a permit will be considered absences (and withdrawal from the college for extended periods.)
• In order to be placed, students must:
  • Have successfully completed a minimum of 80% of their courses and any outstanding courses (repeats) will be scheduled during their co-op placement period (or immediately afterwards, which may require the student extending their permit period.)
  • Have met all financial obligations to the college (paid in full).
