Academic Standards for Participation in the Computer Science Co-op Program

Freshmen

Freshmen are considered unsuccessful if they fail to achieve the minimum cumulative QPA of 1.700 and/or, depending on their curriculum, are deficient in a full quarter's worth of credit as follows:

Total credits in curriculum for Freshman Year - 50

Minimum credits earned unacceptable for Sophomore Status - 37 and under.

Non-Cooperative Sophomore Status On Academic Probation

Students are assigned to this status in Computer Science if their final freshman QPA ranges from 1.400 through 1.999 and they have more than 5 deficient credits but less than a full quarter's worth of deficient credits.

Academic Probation But With Eligibility For Cooperative Work Experience

This status is for freshmen who complete their programs with cumulative QPA of 2.000 or higher and have more than 5 deficient credits but less than a full quarter's worth of deficient credit.

Upper Class (See Student Handbook)

Any student on any form of academic probation, who has a co-op assignment, will not be permitted to change co-op positions, until that student is officially removed from academic probation. (Any exception to this condition must be in writing to the Co-op Faculty Coordinator.)

Co-Op Probation
