<p>It was many years ago, but my S. was in Co-op program. In this program, they had only first summer off. Afte that, they were in school for one quarter and at work (paid positions) another quarter. Not only we did not pay tuition for hsi “working” quarters, but we also did not support him financially at all during this periods. he was on his own for “working” 3 months.
I have no idea why they would chanrge tuition is the kids is not at school. Does not make sense.
Co-op programs are great, although they require 5 years instead of 4. They allow for break in tuition payments and they all have jobs after graduation at one of the places.</p>
