Steps for registering your internship / co-op experience for credit

• Start by securing an internship or co-op.
• Submit the Application for Internship/Co-Op for Credit form. This must be completed and approved prior to the start of the internship or co-op experience! Retroactive internship for credit applications will not be accepted. You must have internship approved and be registered prior to the start of the internship.
• The application will be routed to your internship supervisor, the department and the director of active learning via DocuSign. The internship is not approved until all parties have signed.
  • The application must be signed by the supervisor that you will be working under. It cannot be signed by a HR person or a third-party hiring company. If this is not possible, then you will not be eligible to participate in the Internship for Credit Program.
• Once the internship for credit is approved, you will receive an email from the director of active learning with a permission number to register. You are not enrolled in the program unless you register for the COEN 3930 Internship for Credit for the semester of your internship.
• If completing an internship/co-op during an academic term (fall or spring), you must also submit the Impact of an Internship/Co-op on Financial Aid and/or Scholarships Form before beginning an internship/co-op assignment. 
  • This form is not necessary if your internship takes place during summer. Please do not submit for a summer internship or co-op experience. This is to make sure that any scholarships or financial aid will not be affected by your internship or co-op experience. Impact Form
• Attend a mandatory "Professionalism in the Workplace" seminar with your departmental coordinator prior to departing on the internship/co-op experience.
• The final report and survey surrounding the experience are due the first day of classes following the work session unless otherwise specified by the Coordinator. The experience is graded as either satisfactory (S) or unsatisfactory (U). Students not submitting these materials will receive a grade of “Incomplete.” If the materials are not completed within one year, the grade will convert to unsatisfactory.
• The registration fees are due in the Bursar’s Office by the deadline specified by the university. If not received by this deadline, a late fee will be assessed.
• Failure to register and pay the required fee means that the internship/co-op experience cannot be used for credit.
• If internship credit is desired and for all co-op experiences, report the intent to register for credit by filling out the webform below.
