Cooperative Education students with a formal vehicle to report their work experience to

this course for Spring 2001 you must fulfill the following requirements. You must meet
ALL course requirements to be eligible to continue participation in the Co-op Program for
Summer or Fall 2001, or to receive your Co-op certificate of successful completion, if graduating
