Student Financial Responsibility during Co-Op Terms

While students are on co-op, they are responsible for the payment of tuition to the College as well as their own room, board, and other expenses. Students are also responsible for costs associated with their travel to and from their jobs, as is the case for travel to and from campus during breaks. A limited number of co-op fellowships are available on a competitive basis. Students may discuss these opportunities with their co-op advisors.

It should be noted that international co-op experiences rarely offer paid work, although at times room and board compensation can be secured. While some fellowship opportunities are available, students hoping to co-op abroad should expect to incur a number of costs, for which they would be responsible, and for which they should plan far in advance.
