Earning Course Credit for Internships

The Gaylord College's internship process starts with your academic adviser. If you think you might be interning during the following semester or want to plan for it during a future semester, making an appointment with your academic adviser will ensure you stay on track for graduation.

 

 

Once you have met with your adviser, the next step in the internship process is to: 

  1. Watch our Internship Packet and Process DVD and receive a packet. This video can be watched anytime, Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. in the Student Services Center, Rm. 2533. It is a 10-minute video that will outline the paperwork and requirements to receive credit for your internship.  
  2. The final elements of ensuring credit are to secure the internship with your employer and return your packet
    to the Student Services Center.

 

Once all of these components have been completed:

  • You will receive an e-mail stating your internship has been approved or denied. Once approved, you will be given a log in and username, and instructions on how to track your hours for your internship. 

During the internship, you will be responsible for returning your:

  • Mid-term evaluation, final evaluation, student evaluation, reflection paper and logged hours at the appropriate time during the semester.  

 

All of these elements are outlined in the DVD. If you have questions, please contact your undergraduate academic adviser.
