IF APPROVED FOR ACADEMIC CREDIT, YOU WILL BE CHARGED

TUITION FOR 1-3 CREDIT HOURS

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Academic credit for an internship is usually optional as far

as the Meek School is concerned. Other than for the Broadcast Emphasis, internships

are not part of degree program requirements. Some employers, however, require

that students be receiving academic credit in order to qualify. If your prospective

employer says you must be receiving course credit, you must become enrolled using

these forms. BE CAREFUL not to expend all your credit hours if there’s a chance you

will seek multiple internships. The Meek School can award no more than 3 credits

total, so avoid being in the position of being offered a second or third internship and

not being able to accept it if the employer requires credit and you have already

earned the 3-hour maximum.
