No fewer than two contacts are expected to be made during the internship in addition to contacts made before and after the experience. Frequent mentor-intern conferences provide regular review of the student's progress. The Application for Internship form must be completed and submitted to the academic dean by the student before registering for the internship. Final evaluation is based on job performance and job-related factors such as responsibility, punctuality, skill, and cooperation. A concise written evaluation is submitted by the mentor to the supervising faculty member and is retained in the student's placement file.
Academic credit is based on the number of hours of job experience.
Regular work hours are to be maintained. Internships may be arranged for no fewer than 2 semester hours credit nor more than 4 credits. Regular tuition rates are charged based on the amount of credit. A maximum of 10 semester hours credit in internship may be applied to a degree program. A Practicum places the student in a practice learning situation.
