Your internship needs to be planed in advance.  You must be enrolled in COMM-483 to do your internship.  Prior to the semester that you do your internship, you need to talk with me about where you are doing the internship and fill out the appropriate forms for both the university and the sponsoring business.  Many companies have applications and forms to be completed in advance by the student before they will grant permission for an internship. Do Not assume anything.

Here are the forms for you to print out and take to your potential internship employer.  Click on the links below.

You are responsible for obtaining the mid-term and final employer evaluation report forms and delivering them to your employer.  Your internship supervisor is to evaluate your performance at the mid point and the end of your internship and forward the evaluations to the department.  If you have any questions concerning your internship you should contact me via e-mail or voice mail.
