You should wait to hear from your faculty advisor regarding the approval of the internship site before proceeding any further.
6. If the on-the-job supervisor agrees to place you in the internship opening and you agree to accept, ask the on-the-job supervisor to sign his or her name on the Internship Program Student Application. Determine from your on-the-job supervisor the dates for beginning and ending the internship and the number of hours per week that you will work in order to accumulate the minimum number of hours for the number of credits for which you are applying (most internships are for three credits, which means you will need to schedule 160 work hours during the semester).
