Attention senior students, don’t inadvertently delay your graduation!

If you have an outstanding end-of-work-term evaluation, you have not achieved Co-op credit.

To ensure you are on track to graduate, do the following:

  • Review your Degree Works record to see if/how many Co-op credits you still need.
  • Log in to your Connect Co-op records to identify which evaluations are missing.
  • Contact your Co-op manager who can help you meet your Co-op education requirements.
