Provost Office: Memorandum
To: All Faculty, Staff, and Students
From: Dr. N. John Dinardo, Vice Provost for Academic Affairs
Subject: Undergraduate Classes During Co-op
Date: 31 August 2006
In an effort to better couple academics with the co-op experience, undergraduate students enrolled in a co-op education program may register for one course (up to three (3) credits) during each term for which they are on a co-op assignment without additional charge.
This new initiative is effective Fall 2006 and is subject to the following guidelines:
- A maximum of one (1) undergraduate course (up to three (3) credits) may be taken without additional charge; if this course carries more than (3) credits, the additional credits are billed on a per-credit basis.
- If a student registers for a second course, the second course is billed on a per-credit basis.
- According to existing policy, students on co-op are permitted to register for a maximum of six (6) credits per co-op term.
- Students are not eligible to register for online courses without charge.
- Registration is subject to the approval of both the student's Academic and Co-op Advisors as well as course availability and enrollment limits.
- Registration for these courses opens one week prior to the beginning of the respective term. Academic Advisors will assist students in registering for these courses for this Fall term after September 18th.
- The Enrichment Course Policy remains in place. Credits earned in an Enrichment Course count towards the six (6) credit per co-op term maximum. The Policy can be found at
