Welcome to Your Academic Internship!

You are enrolling in an Internship course for the Fall 2024 semester, now what? 

Important Information and Resources: 

Students Searching for Placements – If you are seeking an internship site, we are here to help you navigate the academic internship database.  A great place to start is by watching How to Find an Internship.  Once you have been offered an opportunity at a site, check out the Internship Placement Instructions which will guide you as you record your placement in the database. 

*Note: you will not be able to report placement in the database until you are enrolled in an internship course. 

• MY SITE IS NOT IN THE DATABASE: Deadline for new partnership requests for the fall semester is August 1st, 2024. ​*Requests will be processed on a continued basis after the deadline however we cannot guarantee they will be ready prior to the start of the semester.  You will need to follow ONE of the below steps:
  • Option 1 - Follow the steps to Request a New Community Partner, an auto email will generate with the application to your site.
  • Option 2 - Send the partner application directly to your site to complete.  

*Note: Consult with your internship course instructor or department to discuss if the internship is appropriate and meets the objectives related to the internship course.

Please be aware, organizations take anywhere from 2-6 weeks, if at all, to return the form and agreement (if applicable).  

• MY SITE IS IN THE DATABASE BUT MY OPPORTUNITY IS NOT: Please request your site complete a new opportunity form.
