Parker, Melanie, Co-op Coordinator, Career Resource
Center.
 GENERAL INFORMATION: The Cooperative
Education Program offers students an opportunity to
integrate classroom instruction with practical work
experience as a part of their academic program.
 The program gives students the opportunity to
verify academic and vocational interests, gain valu-
able experience in chosen career fields prior to gradu-
ation and earn income that can be used to defray col-
lege expenses.
 Co-op work experience must be related to acade-
mic major or career field interest. The work experience
is conducted under approved industrial, business,
institutional or governmental agency supervision.
 Qualifications: To qualify for a co-op work
assignment a student must have completed the fresh-
man year with at least a 2.0 GPA. Arrangements for
the student to be employed in a career-related job and
registration in an appropriate "co-op" work experi-
ence course is done through the Career Resource
Center (CRC).
 Transfer Students: Students who were co-oping
at a community college or university and who wish to
continue to do so while at UF, will ordinarily wait
until after completing one semester on campus.
 Formats: Co-op students may participate in the
following work programs: ALTERNATING: The stu-
dent alternates between a full-time academic schedule
followed by full-time work for a minimum of two or
three work semesters. PARALLEL: The student, while
carrying academic course work, is also employed in
an appropriate job.
 Course Offerings: With the exception of the two
 co-op courses listed below, all co-op courses are listed
 under the academic department with which the work
 is related. The junior/senior level course number for
 co-op is 4949. This is preceded by the letter designa-
 tion for the academic department concerned.
 All freshmen and sophomores qualified for co-op
 course work register for:
 IDS 2949 Cooperative Education Work Experience. F,
 S,SS.
 Credits: lfU; Prereq: freshman year and approval by
 academic adviser of proposed major. May be repeated with
 changed work program.
 All LS juniors and seniors qualified for co-op
 course work register for:
 IDS 4949 Cooperative Education Work in Liberal
 Studies. F, S, SS.
 Credits: 1Uf; Prereq: Sophomore year & dept. design.
