5. I
t is my responsibility to locate internship opportunities and obtain an internship assignment, just as I would find
any professional career assignment.
6. It is my responsibility to file all required paperwork as required by the university and my department in order
to schedule the appropriate credit for my internship. I will adhere to all posted deadlines.
7. Approval of the internship for academic credit is contingent on the approval of the Department Internship
Coordinator and Experiential Learning and Career Management.
8. I understand that I must have a minimum 24 credits earned at MU (or 12 credits earned at MU as a transfer
student) unless there are higher departmental requirements to participate in an internship. If my MU earned credit
hours are below the minimum at time of application, my application will be held until the current term’s grades are
computed and I have achieved the required credits.
9. I understand that I must have a minimum 2.0 overall GPA and 2.0 major GPA unless there are higher departmental
requirements to participate in an internship. If my GPA is below the minimum at time of application, my application
will be held until the current term’s grades are computed and I have achieved the required GPA. If my GPA falls
below the minimum due to performance the semester preceding the internship, the internship will be withdrawn.
10. Because academic internships are designed for students in their declared major, minor or areas of concentration, I
will meet all department prerequisites prior to the internship semester including the credit and GPA standards.
11. I understand credit-bearing Internships earn a minimum of 3 credits, which may be counted as electives within my
major or minor. A maximum of 12 internship credits may be earned (i.e. maximum of four, 3-credit internships. If I
want to earn more than 3 credits for an internship assignment, I need to discuss it with my internship coordinator
as
it is at the discretion of the department to approve and written approval must be sent to ELCM).
12. I will obtain all the required documentation that may be required by my department and/or site to participate in
an internship. This may include criminal background check, professional liability insurance, first aid certification,
etc.
13. I understand that my acceptance in the internship assignment may be contingent on my ability to meet site
selection criteria such as interview, pre-employment testing, background check, and substance screening.
14. I will submit all reports and communicate with my faculty internship supervisor according to the prearranged
schedule as outlined by the credit-bearing internship program which is listed in the internship handbook. I will inform
my faculty internship supervisor and Experiential Learning and Career Management of any changes to my internship
job description and work schedule. Additionally, I will report any significant problems that I may encounter at the
internship site.
15. I understand the internship hours
will take place during the academic semester or summer term; over the course
of 12 to 15 weeks. Any hours that I complete outside the regularly scheduled academic term must be pre-
approved during the application process (see items 6 & 7 above).
16. I will keep Experiential Learning & Career Management and my faculty internship supervisor informed of
changes in my contact information (name, address, cell phone).
17. I also hereby understand and will adhere to the policies and procedures of Experiential Learning and Caree
r
M
anagement Credit-Bearing Internship Program as they appear in the Student Internship Handbook, and
hereby request approval from my department to begin the credit-bearing internship search process.
