A list of all Co-op students and their work/study schedule is sent over to the Undergraduate Awards Office.; If you receive an award for 2013-2014, you will still receive your amount while on work term (Fall & Winter terms).

H)   STUDENT LOAN

If you have a Federal student loan, please remember to get a Schedule II completed by Financial Services (Jennifer Mazerolle: Jenmaz@unb.ca) and return it to your bank. If you have a private loan, your bank will require a Confirmation Letter from the Registrar (Coleen Wall, cwall@unb.ca). This has to be done every six months, or you will be expected to start repaying your loan. If your work term extends beyond six months, e-mail or phone Financial Services, and they will complete the schedule and forward it to your bank.

With approval from the Co-op Coordinator and work term supervisor, students can take one course during the fall semester.

J)   EMAIL/WORK TERM RESPONSIBILITIES

The Co-op Office uses UNB email to contact Co-op Students while on a work term. Your UNB email should be forwarded to your work email provided your employer gives their authorization. If it’s not possible for your UNB emails to be forwarded to work, it is important that you check it regularly. We will contact you throughout the term regarding site visits, deadlines, etc.
