Are you planning to complete an internship for credit this fall? You must register before the semester starts on August 31. Remember, you cannot start logging hours until your registration is approved and you’re officially enrolled!
How to get registered by Thursday, August 27:
-
Check your required hours: Work with your faculty advisor to lock in your credits. Most programs require at least 45 hours per credit (e.g., 3 credits = 135 total hours).
-
Fill out your Learning Plan: Complete this with your faculty advisor and site supervisor using the Learning Plan Template.
-
Submit in Handshake: Go to Handshake and submit your Experience request. Follow the “Submit A Registration Request For Your Internship” guide if you need help.
Once approved, you’ll be enrolled! During the semester, you’ll log your hours and complete 2 reflection papers.
🔮 Thinking Ahead to Spring or Summer 2027?
Many competitive internships recruit 3–6 months in advance! It’s never too early to start searching for your next opportunity.
