Promotions

Promotion from one grade to another is based upon the level of education a student has attained and satisfactory performance ratings. Promotion and the effective dates of promotion are at the discretion of the Agency. It is the responsibility of the student to submit a grade report or transcript to the NASA Glenn Co-op Coordinator to support the academic requirements for promotion.
