    I am currently on coop thats supposed to last until january but found out there I have to repeat 2 modules on a Link-in basis from semester 1. I technically amn't permitted to be on coop but if there remains no communication between the college and my employer what would happen if I just continued to work there? would I get in trouble with the college or will I just be asked to stop working nicely whenever they find out Im still there? Bit of a silemna Im ni...

    If the company is ok to keep you on then there shouldn't be a problem
    The only issue i can see is the possible clash between your college hours and work hours

    When i was on co-op (may to jan) I discovered i had to do a link in during semester 2. My supervisor and the HR department were ok for me to stay and when i eventually spoke to the co-op office they gave me an exemption from having to repeat co-op

    well the thing is I could definately manage to juggle both because i have only 4 compulsory labs to go to and I could get days off work for them I suppose. Were you treated as a full coop employee there? because it clearly stated in my letter from the college "you are not permitted to continue on coop"...?
