Failure of Co-op

Students can fail co-op for a variety of reasons. These reasons include, but are not limited to:

• Failure to register an approved co-op position
• Failure to complete the Employment Summary and Planner (ES&P) to finalize co-op credit
• Termination of a co-op experience 

A failure is designated by "NCU" on the transcript, which stands for "No Co-op Units." Since co-op is a graduation requirement in a student's plan of study, the student’s co-op concentration and scheduled number of co-op cycles must align. Students who receive a co-op failure will have a Cooperative Education (CO) hold placed on their account until any discrepancy between their co-op concentration and number of co-op cycles are resolved. For an incomplete ES&P, students should contact their co-op advisor. If the co-op failure was due to another reason, students should work with their academic advisor to resolve the discrepancy between their co-op concentration and number of co-op cycles. Changes to plans of study may result in billing implications. Should a student fail co-op, that student is not entitled to a change of co-op cycle, a refund, or adjustment of tuition.
