CO-OP MODEL

Co-op Eligibility Have at least a passing grade in all program courses in semesters prior to the determination of eligibility; Be enrolled in, or have successfully completed, all program courses in the current semester at the time of application for the co-op positions; Have a program cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or above at the end of the semester prior to the determination of eligibility. If applicable, have successfully completed any previous co-op work term i.e. has not received an F/NP grade on a co-op work term. NOTE: CPEO students have a slightly different eligibility. See me for more information if interested.

Co-op Eligibility Co-op Eligibility has been determined and those individuals who (according to my records) have not met the criteria have been emailed at their STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS. If you received an email and feel this is in error, you need to see me personally immediately to seek a fix. I will not deal with this issue via email nor telephone.

Co-op Eligibility IMPORTANT & NEW!!! Co-op Eligibility will be done again at the end of this semester. If you have secured a co-op but lose your eligibility, your employer will be contacted to let them know. At that time they will have the choice to rescind the offer or move forward with the offer. If by the end of the semester you have not secured a co-op and you lose your eligibility, you will not be permitted to move forward with co-op.

YOUR Email & Phone Numbers IMPORTANT!!! As the recruitment progresses, it is crucial that I be able to contact you immediately sometimes. I need you to do a few things: Log into myCareer and make sure your alternate email address is correct & ensure there is an accurate cell phone number in there. Update if necessary. NOTE: Make permanent changes in Webadvisor. If you are not in the habit of checking your student email account multiple times daily, go into your student email account (i.e. c0123456@mylambton.ca) and have it automatically forwarded to your alternate email address. See next slide for instructions.

STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS ONLY Through the myCareer System, I can ONLY email students to their student email account (c0123456@myLambton.ca) It is imperative that I have easy, direct, efficient access to you to best assist you in this recruitment.
