Dear [Student],
Congratulations! You’ve been approved to earn internship credits. Please read and save this email for important instructions on registration and next steps.

Next Steps:
- Once You Find a Placement:
- Get approval from Nancy Heiz.
- Fill out the Registration Permission Request Form.
- Submit this form by the first day of the semester you are interning.
- Internship Credits:
- 1 credit = 40 hours of work. Choose how many credits you wish to earn before you register (credits can’t be changed once the semester begins).

- Download and have your supervisor sign the Internship Agreement Form. Submit it on Brightspace by the first week of classes.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. You’ve already completed the first step—take it one step at a time, and you’ll do great!
Good luck and congratulations again!
Best regards,
Nancy M. Heiz
