You can also check the class announcement section of the department bulletin board, located across the hall from the Department Office MIT B69. Register as early as possible. If you have just passed portfolio review, remember that you will have to wait until you pass the appropriate technical workshops before using any new equipment. Internships with local businesses, cultural institutions, and non-profit agencies are common. Internship opportunities are posted as they are received on the bulletin board ouside of Mitchell B-69.
Internships elsewhere are also possible during the summers.
An internship application can be picked up in the Film Department Office. It must be filled out by your proposed supervisor, who defines what is expected of you and agrees to write a letter of evaluation and recommend a grade to the department Chair. It is the student's responsibility to make sure that this letter is received by the department before grades are due in any particular semester. Information on due dates can be obtained from the department office. Independent Study is only open to post-portfolio students and involves a special arrangement with an instructor for a project that cannot be carried out within the confines of a normal class.
