| Registration |
|
You are not fully registered for co-op until you:
- Create an electronic profile on AggieTRAK, NMSU's Career Services System.
- Upload your resume to your AggieTRAK Profile.
- Complete and sign all required Co-op forms and turn them in to the Co-op office.
Accessing your AggieTRAK profile in the future will require you to use the username and password you developed. You are encouraged to keep your electronic profile and resume as up-to-date as possible, since these are sent to prospective employers as part of your referral (application) packet. The entire registration process must be completed before requesting Co-op referrals or scheduling interviews for any co-op opportunities.
