EmploymentAlthough every effort is made to ensure a sufficientnumber of job postings for all students enrolled in theco-op option of their degree program, no guarantee ofemployment can be made. Carleton's co-op programoperates a competitive job search process and isdependent upon current market conditions. Academicperformance, skills, motivation, maturity, attitude andpotential will determine whether a student is offered a job.It is the student's responsibility to actively conduct a jobsearch in addition to participation in the job search processoperated by the co-op office. Once a student accepts a co-op job offer (verbally or written), his/her job search will endand access to co-op jobs will be removed for that term.Students that do not successfully obtain a co-op work termare expected to continue with their academic studies. Thesummer term is the exception to this rule. Students shouldalso note that hiring priority is given to Canadian citizensfor co-op positions in the Federal Government of Canada.

Registering in Co-op CoursesStudents will be registered in a Co-op Work Term coursewhile at work. The number of Co-op Work Term coursesthat a student is registered in is dependent upon thenumber of four-month work terms that a student accepts.

While on a co-op work term students may take a maximumof 0.5 credit throughout each four-month co-op work term.Courses must be scheduled outside of regular workinghours.

Students must be registered as full-time before theybegin their co-op job search (2.0 credits). All co-op workterms must be completed before the beginning of the finalacademic term. Students may not finish their degree on aco-op work term.

Work Term Assessment and EvaluationTo obtain a Satisfactory grade for the co-op work termstudents must have:

1. A satisfactory work term evaluation by the co-opemployer;

2. A satisfactory grade on the work term report.

Students must submit a work term report at the completionof each four-month work term. Reports are due on the16th of April, August, and December and students arenotified of due dates through their Carleton email account.

Workplace performance will be assessed by the workplacesupervisor. Should a student receive an unsatisfactoryrating from their co-op employer, an investigation bythe co-op program manager will be undertaken. Anunsatisfactory employer evaluation does not preclude astudent from achieving an overall satisfactory rating for thework term.

Graduation with the Co-op DesignationIn order to graduate with the co-op designation, studentsmust satisfy all requirements for their degree programin addition to the requirements according to each co-opprogram (i.e. successful completion of three or four workterms).

Note: Participation in the co-op option will add up to oneadditional year for a student to complete their degreeprogram.

Voluntary Withdrawal from the Co-op OptionStudents may withdraw from the co-op option of theirdegree program during a study term ONLY. Students atwork may not withdraw from the work term or the co-opoption until s/he has completed the requirements of thework term.
