Thank you for the replies. I tend to over-think things some times; just want to avoid the appearance of hiding something or not being forth coming.

The job was practical experience related to my degree, but I dropped out of the program one work quarter shy of earning the co-op certificate. In response to the potential "why did you quit?", I was avoiding having to stick around another full year because the Olympics were taking over town.

My transcript says "Co-op Work Assignment" for the respective work quarters so I'm sure an HR-type will pick up on it. I think I will just lump it into the college time and be prepared to discuss.

Thanks again,
