HOW TO REGISTER FOR A NORMANDALE INTERNSHIP CLASS
- Students are expected to prepare a resume, apply and interview for positions, and obtain a position on their own.
- Faculty members and the Center for Experiential Education Coordinators are available to provide guidance and resources for this process.
- Check out our Resources and Links page for resume help, internship search engines, and more.
- Once you have obtained an internship, connect with the faculty member in the discipline you want to receive credit to let them know you are interested and to discuss your options for the internship site. See the online Course Schedule for your assigned faculty member and search by discipline interest, or contact our office.
- Determine with the faculty member how many credits you want for the internship course (see above for your options).
- If possible, provide your internship position description to this meeting. A position description describes your role and tasks you will complete in the internship position.
- Email internship@normandale.edu for assistance with registration. Please note, you will not be able to register for the course yourself online through eservices.
- Payment:
- If you have financial aid: the course is covered within the terms of your financial aid award IF you register by the add deadline for the semester.
- If you are paying for the course: payment is due by the payment deadline for the semester OR within 24 hours of registration if you register after the payment deadline for the semester.
- Most of the time required for the class is completed at the internship site. In addition to your time at your site you will complete academic assignments and communicate regularly with the internship faculty member. The faculty member will tell you the assignment and communication expectations for the internship course.
- Your faculty member may work with you to complete the Student Internship Learning Agreement form, to help you set learning outcomes for the course.
- Your site may be asked to sign and return the Internship Site Agreement.
- Site Evaluation: The Center for Experiential Education will email the site supervisor near the end of the term. On this evaluation the site supervisor confirms the number of hours you completed at the internship site. The site supervisor must return this evaluation.
- Student Self Evaluation: The Center for Experiential Education will also email the student a self-evaluation. Completed evaluations are required to receive a grade.
- The professor grades the student based on evaluation results, successful completion of hours and any assignments from the professor. Failure to complete any of these pieces may impact your grade for the course.
