The student is responsible for keeping a record that details the date and time spent at the work site in order to fulfill the necessary credit requirements. In general, students enrolled in an internship must meet the same workplace requirements as employees as long as these are legal requirements. The Internship coordinator will work with the student, the supervising faculty member, and the work site supervisor whenever there are questions of policy or responsibilities associated with the internship. All arrangements with agencies and groups for internship credit must be documented in the form of a contract, reviewed and signed by the Internship Coordinator, and the supervising faculty member, the work site supervisor, and the student. Obtain a copy of the department s Internship Application from the Internship Coordinator.
