Internship Checklist

• Download the recommended timeline.
  
  
• Select any full or part-time faculty member from the department through which you want credit to serve as the Faculty Internship Advisor.
  
  
• Locate and secure an internship from the CDC resources such as a career counselor or other advisor, by attending a CDC event, by searching on Panther Connect, by faculty recommendation, or through your own research and networking efforts. Additionally, individualized assistance is available from the Internship Coordinator in the CDC.
  
  
• Obtain internship paperwork with the CDC in Argyros Forum, 303 during Internship Hours.
  
  

  1.     Internship Learning Agreement Form (ILAF): Agreement between the student, faculty internship advisor, internship site supervisor and Internship Coordinator that serves as registration paperwork for credit, describes the internship position and defines the learning objectives. Learn more about this form.
  
  

  2.     Internship Responsibilities Form (IRF): Outlines expectations for successful program participation as set forth by the University, the internship program, faculty internship advisor, and the site/site supervisor. Learn more about this form.
  

• Work with your Faculty Internship Advisor to develop specific and measureable learning objectives, academic assignments and a method of evaluation. Learning objectives stated on the ILAF should correlate with the intern’s job description.
  
  
• Return all paperwork to the CDC by the due date (see Registration Deadlines).
  
  
• Meet with your faculty internship advisor at least 3 times during the term or as needed beyond the initial, mid-term and end of term sessions. The final meeting is an opportunity for the student to reflect on the internship experience and a time when the faculty internship advisor can determine whether or not the internship site is valuable for future interns.
  
  
• The CDC distributes an Evaluation of Student Intern Performance to all site supervisors approximately mid-term. Follow up with your site supervisor to ensure your evaluation gets completed and returned to the CDC before grades are due. The CDC will forward a copy of the evaluation to the faculty internship advisorfor review who will determine the grade. Most internships are P/NP.
  
  
• Turn in a copy of your signed timesheet to the CDC before the end of the term.
