STEP 3: UPLOAD YOUR COMPLETED LETTER - The completed letter (PDF or Image is best) must then be sent back to you for upload to the Internship Application form by the deadline as indicated on the Professional Internship Information handout. (NOTE – once you fill in the application form you will receive an email confirmation from Google Forms, please refer to that email to edit your form or upload the internship letter)
 
Approval Process:

STEP 1: VERIFICATION OF INTERNSHIP - Once your internship letter is uploaded Career & Professional Development (CPD) will verify all internship details and move your application forward for final approval.

STEP 2: ACADEMIC APPROVAL - Final academic approval for all Required Internships will be given by your faculty advisor.  *All students completing an Exploratory Internship will be assigned a faculty advisor by the Director of CPD.

STEP 3: REGISTRATION - Once final approval is completed you will be officially enrolled in the Internship course by the Registrar.  Note - Students cannot enroll themselves in any Internship course.

STEP 4: ENROLLMENT - Check LionPath to ensure enrollment into the Internship course prior to the start of the semester.

FINAL STEPS: Work with your assigned faculty internship supervisor to complete all internship academic requirements and evaluations.

 

Please note the following:

  • Allow between 2-4 weeks processing time for steps 1-3 under the Approval Process
  • If you have any holds on your account or do not meet the minimum requirements to receive internship credit this will delay the process
  • All internship applications must be received before the deadline as listed on the Internship Information handout
