Co-op Eligibility

Co-op Eligibility has been determined and those individuals who (according to my records) have not met the criteria have been emailed at their STUDENT EMAIL ADDRESS.

If you received an email and feel this is in error, you need to see me personally immediately to seek a fix. I will not deal with this issue via email nor telephone.

Email & Phone Numbers

IMPORTANT!!!

As the recruitment progresses, it is crucial that I be able to contact you immediately sometimes. I need you to do a few things:

1. Log into myCareer and make sure your alternate email address is correct & ensure there is an accurate cell phone number in there. Update if necessary. NOTE: Make permanent changes in Webadvisor.

2. If you are not in the habit of checking your student email account multiple times daily, go into your student email account (i.e. c0123456@mylambton.ca) and have it automatically forwarded to your alternate email address. If you do not know how to do that, go to the IT helpdesk for assistance.
