Internship Learning Agreement

After entering your information in the blanks, please scroll to bottom and click "Print Out the Learning Agreement" button.

The Internship Learning Agreement is completed by the student, in collaboration with the faculty sponsor and site supervisor. The Agreement serves several purposes:

To provide a framework or structure for the internship experience;
To serve as a reminder to all learning partners (student, supervisor, and faculty sponsor) of the purpose and activities of the internship;
To provide the basis for evaluation and validation of the learning experience.

Students should follow these steps to receive academic credit in Arts & Sciences:

The Learning Agreement must be completed and filed with the Career Center, faculty sponsor, and site supervisor no later than two weeks after the first day of the internship. It is important for learning objectives, expectations, and requirements to be set at the beginning of the internship. Therefore, credit cannot be awarded retroactively.
Register for the course number as advised by your faculty sponsor. For most summer internships, you may register for the credit to appear on your transcript in the following fall. For all internships, you must register by the appropriate semester add/drop date.
Students can gain academic credit for unpaid internships only.
60 hours worked is equal to one academic (elective) credit.
In addition to completing the hour requirement, you must work a minimum of eight weeks to earn three credits or a minimum of six weeks to earn one or two credits.
You will receive pass/fail credit for an internship, not a letter grade.
