Engineering Co-Op Financial Aid Request Process
Students who are registered for an engineering co-op are considered full-time students by the University. Students who are financial aid recipients have the option of receiving federal financial aid (grants and loans) and/or alternative loans for the terms they are on a co-op. State financial aid programs and UToledo scholarships cannot be used during a co-op term. Students must request the use of financial aid for each co-op term and this request must be received by the 15th day of the term.
To request to use federal financial aid and/or alternative loans during a co-op term for fall and/or spring semester, students must be registered for the co-op and complete the Financial Aid Enrollment Certification Form on the myUT portal. Students will receive an email notice when this certification has been requested for the term. This form will be available:
- Fall semester: From the end of July through the end of add/drop period for fall
- Spring semester: From the first week in December through the end of add/drop period for spring
To request to use federal financial aid and/or alternative loans during a co-op term for summer semester, students must be registered for the co-op and complete the Summer Aid Application on the myUT portal. This form is available from March through July, exact dates available on our website.
Co-op classes receive grades just like any other class. If a co-op class is not graded during the regular grading period, students may be cited for a lack of satisfactory academic progress. Further payments of financial aid will not be made until the student has met satisfactory academic progress criteria.
