<p>vampiro, in reply to your question:
“if we go for a co-op but we want to finish on time then can we use the summer semester for studying or is the summer also used up for the co-op assignment…”</p>
<p>A student, who is co-oping, can study in the summer semester PROVIDING that it is not a co-op semester. As you know, co-ops work every other semester, so …</p>
<p>Here’s a hypothetical schedule (assume that you join in '07)
Fall '07 - study
Spring '08 - study
Summer '08 - co-op
Fall '08 - study
Spring '09 - co-op
Summer '09 - study/don’t study …
Fall '09 - work
and so on and so forth …</p>
<p>Do you see that while you cannot be in school in summer '08 since you’re co-oping then, you DO have the option in Summer '09? In Summer '09, you can choose to sign up for classes at GT.
Obviously the above is a hypothetical schedule. You might start your co-op later …</p>
<p>Hope this helped</p>
