Student ethics
  • ETHICS. It is the students' responsibility to:
    • abide by the Co-op policies and procedures of their institution
    • ensure that employers are provided with accurate and appropriate requested information regarding their qualifications and interests
    • apply only for the jobs (in the student program of study only) in which they have a genuine interest
    • notify the Co-op office, well in advance, if interviews must be rescheduled or cancelled
    • be well prepared for interviews
    • not discuss/mislead employers about job offer intentions
    • not provide information to employers on other students/employers
    • honour their acceptance of placement as a contractual agreement with the employer
    • restrict additional studies to one evening course while on co-op placement
    • honour their employer's relocation policy (if applicable)
    • respect the policies of employers regarding confidential/proprietary information
    • students are only permitted one job offer decline
    • if a student interviews with an employer and recognizes that the job is not suitable, it is necessary to let the Co-op office know ASAP.  In this case, this does not count as your one decline.

The final interview schedule is posted on PlacePro under the interview tab. It is your responsibility to accept the interview promptly as employers are awaiting their final interview schedule.
