@grandscheme University of Waterloo in Canada has a very well run co-op program for ME’s. When I applied to co-ops through my school they provided my GPA and that seems to be the norm when we recruit through most co-op programs. He might be better off outside the school co-op program, don’t put that GPA on the resume, and hope they don’t ask. Transferring, getting a job and presumably even graduating will be very challenging with a C- average.
