This Co-op Registration Session lasts an hour and is the first of several meetings. Students interested in co-oping

must attend the entire session of each meeting. The entire program and process will be explained in this

presentation. At the end of the presentation, students interested in continuing the process will be given an

opportunity to activate an account in CareerConnections. A one time $25.00 fee (billed through the Bursar's

Office) is required to activate this account. CareerConnections is the system the Auburn University

Cooperative Education Program uses for students to apply for co-op jobs and to track each student’s activities

as an applicant and as a co-op. An example of CareerConnections will be shown later in this

presentation.

We will be sending important information to your email address. If you don’t have one, you need to get one.
