Students who are enrolled in an academic area requiring an internship (Kinesiology, Nursing, Education, or Communication)
should follow the guidelines for their academic program. All other students seeking credit for internships should follow the
steps outlined here.
Step 1: Find an internship
There are several ways to find an internship at JU:
Talk to a career advisor or faculty advisor
Attend the internship 101 and 102 workshop series
Talk to past interns at a Fall Industry Networking Night
Learn more about approved internship partners at the Annual Spring Career Expo
Apply to over 200 approved internship opportunities on PHIN Connect
Create your own!
Students are encouraged to consult with their faculty advisor and a career advisor before engaging in an internship search.
Suggested application deadlines: Summer Mid-January; Fall Early June; Spring- End of November.
Applying to an internship does not mean you have “secured” the internship. Make sure to ask your sponsor for an email
confirming your start date and work hours.
Step 2: Gain Approval
Credit bearing internships must adhere to the academic internship sponsor policy. Approved internship sites are listed in the
PHIN Connect recruiting portal under “applications.” Check here to see if your internship site is an approved provider. If it
is, record the job ID on your learning contract. If it is not listed, ask your sponsor to complete an sponsor internship
application found here, https://ju-csm.symplicity.com/employers. Allow 2 weeks for the approval process. Completion of this
form does not guarantee your site will be approved.
Step 3: Register and notify your faculty sponsor
In accordance with the academic calendar and registrar’s guidelines, credit bearing internships must be registered by the
add/drop date for the semester when your internship takes place. All documents included in this packet must be signed and
on file in the registrar’s office before beginning your work as an intern. Internship paperwork includes:
Documentation on your internship site attach a job description from PHIN Connect
Learning contract completed in consultation with your faculty sponsor and internship supervisor
Liability agreement
Internship paperwork can be found here:
http://www.ju.edu/CareerDevelopmentCenter/Internship%20Resource%20Center/Forms/AllItems.aspx
Step 4: On-site Participation begins and requirements completed for your grade
Credit is earned in the semester that the internship takes place. Your faculty sponsor will determine how you will be graded
by indicating the evaluation plan in the learning contract. Mid-term and final evaluations are required for the internship
program, as are learning objectives related to communication, critical thinking, diversity, and teamwork skills.
(For academic credit you must be registered prior to the internship)
