PART XI: TO BE COMPLETED FOR J-1 STUDENT INTERN CATEGORY ONLY
All student interns must be paid by UD, a third-party entity such as home government, institution, or private organization, or be
participating in an approved internship exchange agreement on file with UD. Most internships do not include enrollment in UD
courses. If this placement requires enrollment, please consult with CIP. Additionally, internships
require a written student
evaluation prior to departure of the student. It is the responsibility of the host to provide a copy of this evaluation to Tim Kao in
order to comply with J-1 regulations in this category.
