In addition to any applications you submit to agencies or organizations offering internships, you must also submit an application to the University so that the internship will count for academic credit.
Complete an Intent to Apply on-line form
An "intent to apply for an internship" on-line form must be completed prior to submitting a formal application. This form lets the Geography-Earth Science Department know you are planning to apply for and register for an internship in an upcoming semester, which allows the department to plan ahead. Note that this form does not constitute the internship application (see below) . Failure to submit your intent to apply may result in denial of your internship application. While this form should be submitted as early as possible - and usually before you have an internship placement - you must submit your intent to apply by the following deadlines:
- If you are going to apply for a Fall or Summer internship, you must submit your intent to apply by March 15.
- If you are going to apply for a Spring internship, you must submit your intent to apply by October 15.
Then Submit a Formal Application
Once you have secured an internship placement the College of Arts and Sciences internship application must be completed in full. Incomplete forms will delay your registration.
- For Fall internships, paperwork must be filed by June 1 of the prior semester.
- For Spring internships, paperwork must be filed by December 1 of the prior semester.
- For Summer internships, paperwork must be filed by May 15.
- These are deadlines set by the Dean's office. Late applications may not receive credit.
Tips for your application:
- Dr. Pomeroy, Dr. Jantz, or your academic advisor can assist you in completing the application.
- Get in touch with Dr. Pomeroy (gmpome@ship.edu, x1776) or Dr. Jantz (cajant@ship.edu, x1399) to be assigned to an internship supervisor.
- Obtain the signatures of your faculty internship supervisor (assigned to you by Dr. Pomeroy or Dr. Jantz) and your site supervisor (an e-mail to Dr. Pomeroy or Dr. Jantz with approval will also suffice). Then submit the completed application to Dr. Pomeroy or Dr. Jantz (don't forget to sign it yourself!). Dr. Pomeroy or Dr. Jantz will review and sign your application, and will obtain the Dean's signature on your behalf.
Registering for internship credits
- You will need to work directly with Dr. Pomeroy or Dr. Jantz and Ms. Tammy Myers (TLMyers@ship.edu; 477-1685) to register for credits through the Banner system. Please note that Ms. Myers will not register any student who does not have the required approvals.
- For questions about registration, contact Dr. George Pomeroy (gmpome@ship.edu x1776), Dr. Claire Jantz (cajant@ship.edu x 1399), or Associate Dean Dr. James Delle (jadell@ship.edu x 1151).
Tuition for internship credits
- Your internship is an academic experience in addition to being a professional experience. As such, tuition will be charged for internship credits just like any other academic course.
