Religious Observances and Co-op Cycles

Because the co-op program is designed to prepare you for life after graduation, we expect you to work directly with your co-op employer to adjust your work schedule for religious observances. However, please note that individual employer policies supersede Drexel University policies, and some employers may not be able to accommodate these requests.

If you have not yet started your co-op job search and believe it will be impossible to reach a positive arrangement with an employer, you may request a co-op cycle change as a religious accommodation. Please keep in mind that not all academic programs offer both co-op cycles.

To request a change, you must submit a written appeal to your Co-op Advisor outlining why the cycle change is necessary. Your request will be reviewed by the Co-op Leadership team and the Executive Director of Student Success. All decisions are final.
