Occupational Work Experience is offered under two different plans:
1. Alternate Plan- The Alternate Plan of cooperative work experience offers students opportunities to attend college full-time one term and work full-time the following term. Under the plan, on-the-job experiences must be related directly to the student's educational goals. Up to eight units of cooperative work experience per term may be earned by a student (with a maximum of 16 units), and students may not be enrolled in more than one other course. Students may not transfer from one plan to another without having completed seven units in one plan.
2. Parallel Plan- The Parallel Plan of cooperative work experience allows students the opportunity to attend college and work each term in which they are in college, and awards them units of credit for their work experience.
