Work / School Schedule Agreement
-
After accepting an offer, and before enrollment in the Program, the student must meet with her/his Career Services co-op / internship advisor to establish a Work / School Schedule (blank PDF file).
-
The schedule indicates exactly which semesters the student will work and be in school.
-
The student must obtain approval and signatures from his/her academic department and from you as the employer.
-
The three-year calendar of work term and semester begin and end dates will assist you in planning and scheduling student work terms.
-
For multi-work-term assignments: please be aware that once a student begins to work, s/he may not have flexibility to change the work / school schedule because of the timing of course offerings. Therefore, please plan carefully to abide by the work / school schedule you sign. If you anticipate the possible need to change a student's schedule in the future, discuss this with the student at the time you extend the offer so the student can determine whether his/her academic curriculum allows that flexibility. If an unexpected need for change arises, contact the student and the co-op / internship advisor for the student's major.
-
If a change is needed in the work / school schedule, the student is responsible for seeking consent from all parties and placing the request in writing to his/her Career Services co-op / internship advisor.
-
If you need to terminate a student's co-op / internship employment, see evaluation > terminating a student.
-
If you have questions about work / school schedule possibilities for specific majors, please contact the co-op / internship advisor(s) for those majors.
