learning experience.
Students are expected to:
Meet with the Internship Coordinator before the beginning of the internship experience to review goals and
expectations.
Submit a completed internship agreement form that is signed by both the student and the Site Supervisor no later
than the Friday prior to the first day of classes for the term in which the internship is to be completed. This form

Submit all required materials to the Internship Coordinator by the assigned due dates.
Supervisors are expected to:

The Internship Coordinator is expected to:
Provide support to both the student and the supervisor.
Make on-site visits to the internship site to meet with the site supervisor. (When the site is considerably removed or a
