Within one week of adding your internship information on Handshake, you will receive an email and a note in Handshake with instructions for adding the internship course on MyUI. If you do not add the internship course on MyUI, it will not appear on your transcript.
For all Internships: To receive the passing grade, you must complete the Midterm Evaluation.
Questions? Call the Pomerantz Career Center at 335-1023 or email Jennifer-Noyce@uiowa.edu
If you would like to have your internship experience noted on your transcript for 0 credit hours, you must first register as a non-degree student with the Office of Admissions. You must also be set up to register for the semester - please do so by contacting the Academic Advising office at 319-353-5700. Once you have been admitted as a non-degree seeking student and have received a “registration number”, please follow the steps under the "Instructions for Registering" above.
You will most likely want to choose one of these options in Handshake - F-1 & J-1 Zero Credit Hour Internship for CPT Requirement; F-1 & J-1 CCP:1201 Academic Internship for CPT Requirement; or the Field Experience for CPT Requirement . However, international students in the Leadership Certificate will enroll in the LS:3011 Leadership Certificate Capstone.
If your internship is abroad, you are required to meet with staff in Study Abroad (1-319-335-0353) to discuss safety, health, and cultural context. You must complete Study Abroad's travel registry before you will be approved for a Pomerantz Career Center internship course. You will use the Internships Abroad option in Handshake when requesting approval for registration.
Some internships may be eligible for honors program credit. Discuss requirements with your Honors Program advisor.
