You must complete IT 1130, IT 1430, CSCI 1236,
CISM 2230 and IT 3131 courses prior to the term in which
you intern.
How should you proceed? Prior to starting internship:
1. Complete the Internship Information Form. You can also
obtain this form on the CIT Student Services Department
Room 1208.
2. Return the completed form to the CIT Student Services
Department. They will verify that you have met the class
requirements
3. You will be notified by e-mail of internships opportunities
that come through the CIT Student Services office.
4. If you identify an internship opportunity through your
own efforts turn in a detailed description of the job
duties along with contact information of the company and
your direct supervisor.
5. Once you have secured an "approved" internship,
the College of Information Technology will then prepare
contracts stipulating the responsibilities of the employer,
the department and the intern. The beginning and ending
dates of the internship contract normally coincide with
the beginning and ending dates of the term. However, actual
employment may extend prior to and/or beyond those dates.
6. The Internship Program agreement must be completed
prior to beginning the internship.
These contracts are subject to the approval of the Chair
of the Department of Information Technology and will NOT
be prepared unless Steps 1 - 4 above have been properly
completed.
7. Contracts must be completed and signed by all parties,
and returned to the College of Information Technology.
When all paperwork is in order, we will enroll you in
I.T. 4790.
How we will evaluate your Internship?
• Keep a daily/weekly log of your activities
• Stay in contact with your advisor on a bi-weekly
basis to report progress and/or problems.
• Provide a written report on the work experience
about 2-3 pages in length.
• Or, if the internship was centered on a project
submit a finished copy of the project and a short description
of the project goals, outcomes, and method of accomplishment.
• The employer will formally evaluate you in the
middle and at the end of the term using an Internship
Evaluation Form.
• You will fill your personal evaluation at the
end of the internship.
Will you be compensated?
• Normally compensated by the employer.
• This is solely at the discretion of the employer
• Negotiated privately between the employer and
the student.
• The normal pay range can vary per hour.
Now Remember.......
• You are responsible for developing your own internship
opportunity. Anywhere!! Just consider living expenses
at the internship location.
• Contact prospective employers that sponsor your
internship, if possible.
• Once you find an opportunity, turn in the Student
Services Department a detailed description of job duties
along with contact information of the company and your
direct supervisor; this to assure that the internship
is acceptable.
• Course credit (academic credit) will not be awarded.
• Internships are an extension to the I.T. curriculum,
and required of all I.T. majors.
• The College of I.T. will occasionally receive
requests from employers for interns; but it is your responsibility
to find one.
• When such requests are received, all students
who have filled out an I.T. Internship Information Form
and meet all criteria will be notified of the opportunity.
• Interested students will be put in touch with
the employer, who will schedule interviews and determine
who gets the internship.
