Do I have to complete the entire 120 hours during the semester that I’m receiving credit?
No. You must complete at least 80 hours of your internship during the semester that you receive credit. The remaining 40 hours may be completed before or after the semester in which credit is given to allow some flexibility. However, since an internship is a student planned and directed learning experience that integrates academic, professional, and personal skills, it is important that the process of planning the internship, developing the objectives, and completing the LLA occur before or shortly after the internship begins. If you complete the 40 hours after the semester ends, you will need to file for an Incomplete with your faculty supervisor. Once you complete your hours and turn in your academic and reflective work, your faculty supervisor will change your grade.
