To apply for academic credit for your internship, please submit a request through Handshake’s Experiences platform by following the instructions below.

If we approve your internship for credit, we will register you for CDCI 395, the online asynchronous class that you must take at the same time you are completing your internship in order to receive credit. The internship course has a syllabus with weekly assignments and will include an A-F grade.

In order to apply for internship credit through Handshake Experiences, be prepared with the following information before beginning your submission:

• Employer/organization name, website address, and mailing address
• Internship position title
• Department where you are interning
• Description of the internship as stated by your employer
• Start and end dates of the internship
• Internship supervisor name, job title, email address, and phone number
• Total number of hours you will complete at the internship this semester
• Number of credits you are requesting for the internship
