If you are planning on doing an internship/field experience for credit this summer, the process to get that locked in starts now. All these credit requests need to be approved by several people on campus, and those approvals become difficult to obtain as the summer goes on and people stop checking their email regularly.

To make sure you get enrolled in your internship/field experience credits on time, submit your form through Handshake before you leave for the summer. Come talk to Kaitlyn Ragan in the IDEA Center if you have any questions about how to do this.
