Policy on Withdrawing from a Course

Students will not be allowed to withdraw from a course after the ninth week of the semester without obtaining the signatures of the department chair, faculty member involved and the Office of the Dean of Student Services.

Cooperative Education

The Cooperative Education Program gives the student an opportunity to enhance the academic degree program. Early in the second year, interested and qualified students with grade point averages of 2.2 or better may apply for co-op.  Co-op consists of supervised, paid employment related to the student's area of study.  Participation in co-op extends the minimum time required for the degree program to four and one-half or five years.  A limited number of summer internships are also available.  A substantial salary, which helps defray college and other living expenses, is earned during co-op work periods.  ChE 310 and ChE 311 may be used for additive credit only.

Further information may be obtained from the Cooperative Education website and Internships and from the co-op Advisor, Dr. Gordana Obuskovic.
