| |
|
|
Forms you must return to Career Services |
|
Within the first four weeks of your work
term, return these forms completed with your employer's signature:
(return address/fax are on the forms) |
|
• |
Your Work
/ School Schedule (blank PDF) (if this is your first work term). |
|
• |
Your completed Learning Objectives. You may
use the PDF
version (print and complete by hand) or MS
Word version (complete using MS Word; then print to obtain handwritten
signatures). |
| |
|
|
Course selection / registering
for the next semester / terms |
|
Registration for summer and fall terms
occurs in March, and registration for spring semester occurs in October.
When you are at your co-op / internship work site during registration,
do your course selection for the upcoming term(s). |
|
If you will be working during an upcoming
term, the Co-op / Internship Program administrator will automatically
enroll you for CEP 4084 for the term(s) based on your Work / School
Schedule, so it is essential that you follow the schedule. |

Evaluation |
|
Employer's evaluation of you:
At the end of your work term ask your supervisor to complete the Employer
/ Supervisor Evaluation of Student. You may use the PDF
version (to print and complete by hand) or the MS
Word version (to complete using MS Word; must then be printed
to obtain handwritten signatures). Submit the completed form to Career
Services within eight weeks of the end of your work term (instructions
are on the form). Ideally, your supervisor should discuss the evaluation
with you, so you know your employer's opinion of your strengths and
needs for improvement. If you work for two terms consecutively for
your employer (e.g., spring through summer or summer through fall),
your employer may submit one evaluation covering the two work terms. |

Your evaluation of the experience:
Complete a Co-op / Internship Program Student Work Term Report
form after each of your work terms and submit it to Career Services
within eight weeks of the end of your work term (instructions on the
form). You may use the PDF
version (to print and complete by hand) or the MS
Word version (to complete using MS Word; no signatures are required
on this form). On this report you evaluate the extent to which each
of your learning objectives for the term was accomplished. If you
work for two terms consecutively for your employer (e.g., spring through
summer or summer through fall), you may submit one work report covering
the two work terms. |
