Is there any way for me to work unpaid in the fall term (Software intern coop)?

Is there a way for me to work for a really good YC-combinator-backed US-based startup that provides me with a great learning opportunity but is unpaid (full time)? I have a valid study permit and co-op work permit but the issue is that my university says that unpaid internship cannot count as a co-op experience. I don't care if my university doesn't approve this but can I legally work for it while taking no courses in the fall term?
