IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS

ANY STUDENT WHO HAS DECIDED NOT TO RETURN TO THEIR LAST CO-OP EMPLOYER, AND WOULD LIKE TO INTERVIEW FOR A NEW CO-OP POSITION FOR THE UPCOMING WORK SEMESTER, NEEDS TO INFORM ME OF THAT FACT NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18th, 2009 AND INFORM THEIR LAST CO-OP EMPLOYER OF THEIR DECISION VIA EMAIL - WITH A "VISIBLE" COPY OF THAT EMAIL SENT TO ME !
 
THIS ACTION EFFECTIVELY TERMINATES YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND CONTACT WITH THAT EMPLOYER !



ALL STUDENTS WHO WERE ON LAST CO-OP DURING SPRING AND SUMMER I OF 2009 ARE REQUIRED TO MEET WITH THEIR CO-OP COORDINATOR, IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND "REFLECT" ON THEIR CO-OP WORK EXPERIENCE, OR TO BE REFERRED TO PROSPECTIVE CO-OP EMPLOYERS !  MAKE SURE THAT YOU SUBMIT YOUR EMPLOYER/STUDENT EVALUATION AND POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS TO US, BY OUR POSTED DEADLINES!

YOU MUST UPLOAD AN UPDATED A "PROOFED" COPY OF YOUR RESUME ONTO myNEU COOL, BY OUR POSTED DEADLINE. 

ANY STUDENT WHO FAILS TO MAINTAIN THE REQUIRED GRADE POINT AVERAGE, ALLOWING THEM TO PROGRESS WITH THEIR CLASS, WILL BE CONSIDERED INELIGIBLE TO INTERVIEW FOR "CO-OP" POSITIONS DEVELOPED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF COOPERATIVE EDUCATION. THEY MAY HOWEVER DEVELOP THEIR OWN "CO-OP" EMPLOYMENT AND PETITION FOR MY APPROVAL OF THEM AS ONE TIME "STUDENT DEVELOPED POSITIONS".

STUDENTS MAY, IF THEY WISH, UTILIZE ANY PERSONAL CONTACTS THAT THEY MAY HAVE, WORKING IN TANDEM WITH THEIR COOP COORDINATOR, TO OBTAIN A "STUDENT DEVELOPED CO-OP POSITION" ; AND YOU MUST RECEIVE OUR APPROVAL IF YOU WISH TO RECEIVE CREDIT FOR YOUR CO-OP WORK.

FINALLY, FACTORS SUCH AS YOUR GRADE POINT AVERAGE, TRANSPORTATION ISSUES, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, SECURITY CLEARANCES AND COORDINATOR SCREENING MAY ULTIMATELY IMPACT YOUR REFERRALS. THEREFORE, INDICATING A STRONG INTEREST OR PREFERENCE FOR A POSITION DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY GUARANTEE A REFERRAL TO AN EMPLOYER.
