On-Going Requirements for Cooperative Education Programs
All students in the Cooperative Education Program will keep a daily time sheet, attend regularly scheduled courses at school, and turn in all required paperwork. These three elements help the students demonstrate the application of their learning in a meaningful way, foster productive habits of the mind, and help students take control of their learning.
