Co-op

edited September 2013 in General
Are you allowed to take classes at SFU while you are on a Co-op work term?

  • You can if you get permission from the employer. I don't think they would let you take a full load, but I have heard of people doing one or two.
  • Yeah I had a friend take one before.
  • Why do you need permission? Can't you just enroll in a class and they wont know? 
  • Well if those classes will potentially interfere with your work the employer needs to know. Plus as long as you don't have to miss much or any work for class they will almost certainly say yes. I remember the coop department having a thing where you say how many classes you are taking and if you have permission. Last thing you would want is to lie to your employer then have the truth come out during a site visit.
  • Yeah then co-op would be a waste and there goes your reference/future job lead.
