We do not recommend that you require credit for internships because many students are not able to receive credit through their department. It is the intern’s responsibility to consult their academic department for guidance on receiving credit. If credit is required by you and a student is unable to receive it through their department, an alternative course has been set up through Career Services called CSVC 1000.

Disadvantages of requiring credit for unpaid internships

• Students feel that employers are forcing them to get a credit that does not count toward graduation (if they can’t get a department to sponsor them), in addition to paying the cost of tuition (for any course).
• Recent court rulings have possibly changed the way courts assess unpaid internship legality. The following link is a news story about a case against Black Swan in which the judge sided with plaintiffs who had been unpaid interns. The judge went on to make this remark in talking about unpaid internships and credit:
  “Some employers have asserted that they have free rein not to pay interns as long as the interns are receiving college credit. But Judge Pauley said receiving academic credit was of little importance in determining whether interns should be paid.”

The PIIE program is designed to connect top students interested in civic engagement to internships with nonprofits and government agencies in the Denver/Boulder area. PIIE is the first of its kind among public universities in the nation and has become increasingly competitive every year.
