Co-op Work Term Sample Clauses

Co-op Work Term. Students must be compensated during a co-op work term. A co-op work term normally consists of 16 weeks beginning in January, May or September, with a minimum requirement of 12 weeks of full-time hours or the equivalent of 420 hours. Exceptions may be approved upon Co-operative Education review. A mid-semester co-op work term visit or check-in is scheduled with each student by a Co- op Coordinator or Co-operative Education representative, and will be completed either in-person, via telephone or virtually. The student’s supervisor completes a Work Performance Evaluation (WPE) each co-op work term. A grade of Outstanding, Very Good, Good, Marginal or Unsatisfactory will appear on the student’s Academic Record. It is the student’s responsibility to follow-up with the employer to ensure they have completed and submitted an online performance evaluation before leaving the co-op work term. Students who receive a Marginal WPE will be required to meet with their Co-op Coordinator and in some situations with the Director of the Experiential Learning Hub. Students who receive two Marginal WPEs or an Unsatisfactory WPE will be required to withdraw from co-op and transferred to the regular academic program.
