----------------------------------- SJ Wed Oct 21, 2009 3:09 pm How long is the break between coop and school? ----------------------------------- Generally how long is the break between the end of a school term and the start of work? And, how many weeks do people actually spend in coop? ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Oct 21, 2009 3:15 pm RE:How long is the break between coop and school? ----------------------------------- It's up to you to negotiate your start/end dates with your employer. There's a minimum amount of time that you must work to receive a credit, but it's short enough that it shouldn't ever be an issue. It seems reasonable to leave yourself a week in between terms. ----------------------------------- Prabhakar Ragde Wed Oct 21, 2009 3:32 pm RE:How long is the break between coop and school? ----------------------------------- The length of the break also depends on the timing of your last exam. The "break" between Winter and Spring terms can be as short as one weekend. ----------------------------------- Tony Wed Oct 21, 2009 3:39 pm Re: RE:How long is the break between coop and school? ----------------------------------- The "break" between Winter and Spring terms can be as short as one weekend. I've done that. Moved between cities too! ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Wed Oct 21, 2009 3:56 pm Re: RE:How long is the break between coop and school? ----------------------------------- The "break" between Winter and Spring terms can be as short as one weekend.

Ouch, mine always end up being a week or more - I tend to get lucky enough to have all of mine early. ----------------------------------- dcvg Wed Oct 21, 2009 9:14 pm RE:How long is the break between coop and school? ----------------------------------- I met someone last week who claimed to finish writing his exam at 9pm. Driving down to Toronto to catch the flight to Vancouver and start work the next morning. ----------------------------------- SNIPERDUDE Thu Oct 22, 2009 12:00 am RE:How long is the break between coop and school? ----------------------------------- Rule of thumb: There's always someone else worse off than you. ----------------------------------- SJ Thu Oct 22, 2009 11:09 pm RE:How long is the break between coop and school? ----------------------------------- Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like i got a week or two between terms. That's not so bad.
