🔹 Do the credits I earn for my Co-op work terms count as credits I earn towards my degree 🔹 Does Co-op count toward graduation 🔹 Will I get academic credit for Co-op 🔹 Do Co-op work terms show up on my transcript 🔹 Can Co-op replace elective courses

Yes — Co-op work terms do count toward your degree, but how they count depends on when you started:

📅 If you started Co-op in summer 2020 or later:

• You’ll earn 2 credit hours per Co-op course

• You can earn up to 6 credit hours total

• These count as two elective courses toward graduation

📅 If you started Co-op before summer 2020:

• You’ll earn 3 credit hours after completing three Co-op work terms

• This counts as one elective course toward graduation

These credits appear on your transcript and contribute to your overall degree requirements.
