Congratulations, you’ve been approved for internship eligibility! So.. what comes next?
Step 1. You’ll want to make sure that you have the “CONGRATS!” email that you were sent confirming your approval. This email contains important links with registration instructions. You’ll be looking at this email often, so you’ll want to pin it or send it to your favorites.
Step 2. Now that you’ve been certified eligible to intern, you are now approved to find an internship. To find an internship, you’ll want to…
- Follow the npcommedia Instagram, where we frequently promote internship opportunities.
- Visit the COMM Blog “Internships” tab, where we also frequently promote internship opportunities.
- Comb through The Big List of past student internships for contacts to send your resume/cover letters.
- Use Handshake, available through the mynewpaltz.edu “Employment Resources Tab”
- Consider The Legislative Gazette!
Step 3. Once you have found an internship you are interested in, reach out to internship coordinator Nancy Heiz for internship approval.
Step 4. After Nancy has approved your internship, fill out the Registration Permission Request Form. This form will allow you to register for credits. THIS MUST BE DONE BY THE FIRST DAY OF THE SEMESTER you are interning. Note that Internship registration is separate from course registration on your time assignment, and you must register for the internship credits.
Step 5. Download the Internship Agreement Form to fill out with your supervisor and submit via the Internship Seminar Brightspace by the first week of classes.
Step 6. Congratulations, you have completed the internship process!
