Your co-op schedule is determined by your Pattern of Attendance (POA). The POA is a semester-by-semester schedule that determines when you’ll be in class or on co-op. Your pattern is assigned prior to the start of your first year.

Co-op eligibility and preparation process

You will be prompted to complete the “Intent to Co-op” process prior to the start of each co-op search. All first co-op searches begin in your second year of study. The co-op cycle is typically from January – June or July – December depending on your POA, although there is flexibility to complete four-month or even eight-month co-ops depending on your academic plans. Summer experiences are also permitted. You will work with both your academic advisor and co-op coordinator to determine what is the best plan for you.
