Summer internship registration.
Just wanted to remind you -- if you're intending to do a summer 2008
internship, you must register for internship credit (TCOM 489) by the end
of this semester. You must first get approval from me for your
internship, and then registration will be done through the TCOM
department (meaning, you cannot go online and register yourself).
Typically, credit cannot be given AFTER an internship is completed, so
it's critical that you get approval and register BEFORE you actually do
the work.
The process is fairly simple:
After you've found an appropriate internship --
1) You must apply for your internship and get approval BEFORE you begin
the internship.
2) Fill out the purple internship application form that you can get from
the kiosk in 302 West. Make sure you fill it out entirely, sign and date
the back, and get your internship supervisor's signature, as well.
3) On the application form, indicate how many credit hours you want to
receive, and in which semester you want to get those credits (Summer 2008
or Fall 2008). Remember, 1 credit = 100 hours of work. You only need 1
internship credit hour to graduate, but you can take up to 6 credit hours
over the course of your academic enrollment.
4) Write a brief "objectives statement" indicating what you will be
doing in the internship and attach it to your purple application form.
It should be approximately 1/2 page in length.
5) Fill out the application form entirely, and make sure you sign and
date it on the back. If you have difficulty getting your internship
supervisor to sign it because s/he is out of the immediate area, let me
know, and possibly an email confirmation will suffice in place of a
signature.
6) Once completed, please put it in my mailbox in 302 West. After I have
approved the application, SCS secretary will register you for credit hours. If you
have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks, Lori
