2. a twelve to sixteen month placement after third year.

A 2^nd year placement is not a requirement for eligibility to enroll in a 3^rd year placement.

Students who successfully complete 16 months (four terms of CHMI 0000EL) of Co-Op are eligible to receive a discipline specific Co-Op degree. This will appear on their university transcript.
