\nIf I find an internship prior to semester can I start logging hours?<\/strong>

\nWill I have to attend class and if so how many times?<\/strong>

\nDuring the semester the student will need to complete 4 assessments which will compose the final project.
\nWill the instructor come visit me on site during my internship?<\/strong>
\nYes, the internship instructor will complete at least one site visit during your internship.
\nWill I be paid for my internship?<\/strong>
\nThis all depends on the internship provider. Some companies are able to pay our interns and some are not. All internship experiences are valuable. Remember that if you go in to an internship and work hard, you may create future job opportunities and connections.\u00a0 International students, please make sure you contact the International Student Services Office<\/a> to seek assistance in determining if you are eligible to get compensated for your internship.<\/p>\n
