§ Passed Work Terms
In order for you to obtain credit for a work term, CECA must receive an
evaluation from your employer graded "Marginal" or higher at the
end of the term. See information about work
term length.
Note that employers can apply for a tax credit if they employ co-op students, but will only qualify for the credit if the work term is 10 or more weeks in length.
See Section 3.5.2 for information on number of work terms required for graduation.
§ Failed Work Term
Failed work term results from a variety of infractions, including:
Failure to Report to Employer
Once matched with an employer, you have made a binding contract and are expected to report to work for that organization. Failure to do so is recorded on your Co-operative Student Record as Failed Work Term or On Own - University Imposed . Withdrawal from the co-op program may also be required.
Leaving Employer Without Prior Approval
If you experience problems on your work term, please contact to call your student advisor immediately.
|
Do not quit your job! Terminating employment without approval from CECA results in Failed Work Term or On Own - University Imposed on your Co-operative Student Record. Withdrawal from the co-op program may also be required. |
Dismissed With Cause
Student advisors investigate dismissals. If the dismissal is justified, the decision normally recorded on the Co-operative Student Record is Failed Work Term or On Own - University Imposed.
Unacceptable Performance
If an employer deems a student's performance unacceptable, a student advisor investigates. The student may be required to withdraw from the program and or be recorded as Failed Work Term or On Own - University Imposed.
