Combine your Student Society Executive experience with SFU's co-op program.
Are you a student who is already registered in SFU's co-op program or is considering applying to co-op? Are you an elected candidate to the Executive Committee of the SFSS? Since Summer 2022, elected students have the option to count their SFSS executive roles as co-op work terms.
Students are registered into a co-op practicum course when completing a co-op work term which is recognized as full-time student status by the university. This means that as a co-op student, SFSS executives can maintain full-time student status while serving executive roles with the SFSS.
Just like with any co-op position, it will also count towards the three co-op work terms required to receive a Co-op Degree Designation upon graduation.
SFSS Executive roles may only be registered as a co-op work term after students have been accepted into their faculty co-op program. Students must meet their faculty co-op program's application requirements for admission. See here for a list of Co-op programs and their admission requirements.
Accepted students should contact their Co-op Coordinator or Advisor to request having their SFSS Executive role registered as a student-developed work term.
Students that have missed the application deadline for their co-op program but still want their executive role to be considered should contact your faculty co-op program office.
Congratulations on being elected, you must contact your home Co-op office, and inform them you would like to count your SFSS experience as a co-op work term. Your co-op program will classify it as a self-directed co-op work term.
