Count the hours planned to extern within this instructional period and divide by 45 to get the

Students are responsible for knowing their graduation requirements when choosing the
number of credits for this externship and for confirming their schedule on the Student,
Faculty and Placement Supervisor Agreement, which is due soon after the start of the
semester. Students remain responsible for monitoring credit hours and enrollment status
throughout the course of the externship. A request for credits does not guarantee award of
those credits.
