Each co-op position is unique, and it comes with a set of responsibilities to be determined and agreed upon by you, the employer, and your co-op coordinator prior to accepting the position. However, all Khoury College co-op participants are expected to adhere to the following universal responsibilities:
- Start work
- on the date indicated in your offer letter and work until the end date established with your hiring manager. Exceptions must be approved by your co-op coordinator. (Failure to do so may result in a “U” grade and ineligibility for future co-ops.)
- Abide by the terms of the
- Professional Standard Agreement Form
- which will be sent to students prior to their co-op search.
- Notify your co-op coordinator of any issues or concerns.
- Identify and complete
- established learning outcomes with your manager and reflections/guided inquiries as instructed by your co-op coordinator.
, Doing the work is a big part of co-op, but so is the process of growing your awareness of yourself as a student, an employee, and an individual. As such, you will complete a series of written assignments designed to help you reflect on your experience. These culminate in a self-assessment and a performance appraisal completed by your job supervisor.International student co-op International students who wish to participate in a co-op or internship must receive authorization from their co-op coordinator and the Office of Global Services (OGS) taking part in any work experiences.Please review the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) requirements on the OGS website. Students on F-1, J-1, and other visas that allow CPT are permitted to go on co-op under a coordinator’s supervision. Upon accepting a job, you must complete the CPT Authorization Request Form and follow the instructions for work authorization. You should work closely with your co-op coordinator and the OGS during this process.Eligibility and considerationsWhile many employers hire international students or permanent residents, some (such as government contractors requiring U.S. security clearance) are unable to do so. You may choose to consider a “home country co-op” and return to your country of origin during the six-month work period. This does not affect your CPT authorization, and for some students it provides a welcome “vacation” from studying away from home. If considering this option, discuss it with your co-op coordinator as early as possible.
