2.4 Withdrawal Policies for Co-op and Internship Programs

Co‐operative Education/Internship programs strongly value the commitment that is made between students and Co‐operative Education/Internship Employers. The withdrawal regulations are to encourage students to be accountable for their commitments, thus students cannot withdraw from a co‐op/internship course (or leave a work term/placement) without permission from their faculty.

Permission is evaluated on a case by case basis and granted in extenuating circumstances such as serious illness, domestic affliction, faculty‐approved academic issues or in cases where a student’s safety is at risk. Students will be withdrawn from the current registered course/work term and may be removed from the co‐operative/internship program. The decision to remove a student from the co‐operative/internship program is at the discretion of the student’s faculty of registration.

Students who wish to withdraw should contact their faculty co‐operative or internship office and set-up a meeting with an advisor. The advisor will determine the appropriate course of action.

Discontinuation/Withdrawal Without Permission

Students who leave a work term without the permission of their faculty will be assigned a grade of "F" on the course and will be dropped from subsequent co‐operative/internship courses. Students will be required to withdraw from the co‐operative/internship component of the program and are no longer eligible to receive Co‐operative Education/Internship recognition on the parchment regardless of the number of work terms completed.

Additional Information and Resources

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
