If you are enrolled, waitlisted, or considering enrollment in the Work Experience Program (WEXP) at Cosumnes River College, there are steps you must take to stay enrolled and successfully earn college credit for your job, internship, or volunteer role.
Important: Some WEXP courses have required prerequisite and/or corequisite classes. If you do not meet these requirements, you will be dropped from the course or unable to receive credit. Please review your program and class details carefully in eServices or the CRC Catalog. If you're unsure, contact Counseling as soon as possible for guidance.
What You Need to Do
To stay enrolled and earn credit, you must:
- Secure a qualifying site by the end of the first week of class
- Submit the Employer Agreement Request Form
- Attend one required orientation session
Once the semester begins, be sure to complete all course requirements.
Step 1: Secure a Qualifying Site
Your job, internship, or volunteer role must help you learn, grow, and explore your future goals. To qualify, your site must:
- Align with your academic or career goals
- Offer opportunities to build new or advanced skills
- Have a direct supervisor who is willing and able to sign forms
- Allow you to complete the required hours
Not sure if your site qualifies? Need help finding a site? Visit the WEXP Program page and click Make an Appointment. We’ll figure it out together.
Step 2: Submit the Employer Agreement Request Form
Once your site is confirmed:
- Check if your employer is already approved
- If not, submit the Employer Agreement Request Form. You'll need:
- Supervisor’s name and email
- Authorized signer’s name and email (usually HR or a manager; ask your supervisor if unsure)
Your employer agreement must be submitted by the end of the first week of the semester. Because it can take time for your supervisor to complete the agreement, submit it as early as possible. Check the Employer Agreement FAQ for more info.
