Student Handbook
|
Step 1:
|
|
Contact our office and make an appointment to meet with the Director. Be prepared by having a
completed Co-op Application. The purpose of this meeting will be to discuss
your current career interest and to start the search to find opportunities
that match your interest. |
| |
Step 2:
|
| Relates to the preparation of
a cover letter and resume. Every student should become familiar with the
practice of developing a resume and cover letter. Attending a Career Center
sponsored resume or cover letter workshop is highly recommended in
developing this skill. Feel free to visit the Career Services home page to
learn their scheduled workshops. The development of a resume or cover
letter is not mandated by the Cooperative Education Office, but may prove
valuable. |
| |
Step 3:
|
| Contact the director of
Cooperative Education and inform him or her of your progress, in terms of
the job search. Feel free to make an additional appointment if your initial
job search falls short. Feel free to shift your focus to a different job
market. See step four if you have already secured a placement. |
|
|
Step 4:
|
| Every student must a complete
a Learning Agreement,
upon securing a position. This document represents the contract between the
student, the employer and the department that will be awarding the academic
credits. Therefore it must list clear objectives and means by which the
student plans to meet those objectives. This entire document must be
completed, signed and returned to our office, before a student is granted
permission to register. |
|
|
Step 5:
|
| The Director of Cooperative
Education will grant students permission to register for the co-op class,
once he or her receives the signed Learning Agreement Form. The student
will be responsible for accessing the Rail and registering for the class.
The student is also responsible for paying his or her billing in a timely
fashion. Be advised that there is a deadline by which you must register for
co-op. That deadline is usually week four of the semester. Students that
miss the deadline will have to go through the petition process in order to
get into the co-op program. Feel free to stop by or call the office to
discuss the petition process. |
