How and When to Submit Your Report

Submitting your work report on Navigator

Students submit work reports through Navigator.  Please follow the instructions below:

  1. Choose the Work Term (Records/Evaluations) module and click Submit a Work Term Report. Click the Submit a Work Term Report button and the 2011-2012 Submit a Work Term Report option.

  2. You will access the "Add a Work Term Report Submission" page. Please select your co-op co-ordinator, enter your supervisor’s name and choose the option indicating the status of your supervisor’s approval of the report.

  3. Click Browse and use your browser to select your document, open it and then click the Upload button on Navigator. Once you have been returned to the same screen, scroll to the bottom of the page and check that you have uploaded the correct document by clicking Download File. Click Delete if you need to replace the file, and complete the Upload function again. Once you have uploaded your work report, ensure that you click Submit Work Term Report. You will taken to the next screen and receive a confirmation message, "Your work term report has been submitted." Note: Your submission will be successful only if you click the Upload button, then click Submit Work Term Report, and receive the confirmation message.

  4. Check that your work report has been submitted by going back to the Work Term module and clicking Submit a Work Term Report. Next, click a new button, Show My Work Term Reports. Then, click 2011-2012 to access your report.

Please ensure that you have sufficient time to complete the submission process. We suggest that you submit your report before Friday evening to avoid delays due to volume.

Release

When you submit your work report, you will be asked to press a button beside one of the following statements:

My supervisor has reviewed my work term report and has authorized me to release it to other co-op students.

My supervisor has reviewed my work term report and has declared the contents confidential. After my co-op co-ordinator has reviewed my report, it may not be released to other co-op students.

My supervisor has not yet reviewed my work term report. I have informed my co-op co-ordinator of the situation, and I have confirmed an alternate date with my co-ordinator for the results of my employer’s review.

Original Work

Your work term report is subject to the Academic Code of Conduct and Discipline. When submitting your report, you are therefore agreeing that the work term report consists primarily of your own, original work, and that where you have used material from other sources, you have identified and credited those sources.

Deadlines 

Winter Work Term:

If this is your first work term, your report is due the third Friday in April. (The winter 2012 deadline is April 20.)

Spring Work Term:

If this is your first work term, your report is due the third Friday in August. 
(The spring 2012 deadline is August 17.).

Fall Work Term:

If this is your first work term, your report is due the third Friday in December.

Not on your first work term? You will report fully on your work term in the "evaluation of work term form," which is due when you return to campus. This form functions as your work term report.


Please submit your work report by the deadline.
  • Late reports are not eligible for work report awards.
     
  • If you submit a late report we may review your co-op status, unless you have received approval from your co-op co-ordinator for an extension due to extenuating circumstances such as serious illness.

  • Your supervisor’s vacation is not a valid reason for an extension.
