Is there paperwork I need to complete to receive credit for an internship? Yes, there are two forms, the Internship Application and the Internship Learning Agreement.
The initial application is due earlier in the semester to indicate to CD&E staff that faculty and department chairs support the student's pursuit of an academic internship.
The Learning Agreement serves as a contract between the student, faculty supervisor, work supervisor, and Career Development & Education, and outlines the responsibilities of each party involved. It also acts as a syllabus for the internship, outlining objectives, daily activities, and the academic work upon which the student will be graded.
Where can I obtain these forms, and when are they due?
Internship Applications are due for Summer and Fall 2010 on April 12, 2010.
Applications are also available in the Office of Career Development & Education,
1st floor, Golisano Hall.
Once you have completed the Application Form, please review the Pre-Internship PowerPoint presentation in preparation for securing an internship and completing the Learning Agreement. You will need Microsoft PowerPoint to view the slide show. At the File Download prompt, save the file to your computer instead of opening it directly. You will also be asked to participate in an internship preparation workshop.
Completed Learning Agreements for Summer and Fall 2010 are due on May 21, 2010.
Both documents must be typed and hand-delivered to the Office of Career Development & Education, 1st floor, Golisano Hall. Please save a copy of the Learning Agreement for your records.
Please note: Melissa Marietta, internship coordinator, is the last person to sign the agreement and will do so only after receiving a complete Learning Agreement.
What if I need to make changes to my Learning Agreement after I've registered for the internship?
Students must complete The Learning Agreement Change Form and obtain signatures from the Faculty Supervisor and submit to the Internship Coordinator for final approval. The Internship Coordinator will notify the Registrar of changes and inform the student if any additional action must be taken.
What if I find an internship and want to register after the deadline?
If you want to register for an internship for the fall, spring or J-Term semester, please contact the Registrar's office or click on www.hartwick.edu/x23476.xml for petition forms. Your learning agreement must be complete before petitioning. Your petition must be reviewed by the Committee on Academic Standards.
If you want to petition for a summer internship, please complete your Learning Agreement and a Summer Internship Petition Form and fax to Career Development and Education at 607.431.4008.
Please note: You can not petition for internship credit after completion of the internship.
