Internships may be registered for zero, one, two, three, or four credits at Drew University and can fulfill the off-campus experience requirement or immersive experience requirement for Drew students. Students who have already secured an internship should follow the steps below to register and complete an internship to earn credits towards their degree.

1. Schedule an INTC-200 Registration appointment with the Center for Career Development . We’ll talk about the internship you’ve found, how it connects with your career plan, securing a faculty evaluator, and the next steps you need to take to register.
2. Upon completing your appointment, you will receive an email from Handshake outlining your role and responsibilities as a Drew University student intern. Please read these details thoroughly before submitting your agreement.
3. After reviewing and accepting the internship terms, login to your Handshake account, navigate to the Career Center, and then select Experiences. Click ‘Request an Experience,’ to load the University’s Internship Registration Application. To complete this application form you will need to have handy your internship supervisor name and contact information, your faculty evaluator name and contact information, your proposed internship schedule and responsibilities, the number of credits you are seeking, and other relevant details.
4. Once your Registration Application has been submitted and confirmed by the Center for Career Development, Handshake will automatically contact your faculty evaluator and then the internship supervisor to confirm their roles and responsibilities in the internship program. When these approvals have been provided, the Center will receive notification that you are eligible for internship course registration.
5. You will receive a notification from Handshake that your experience has been fully approved.
6. Our team will provide instructor permission for the appropriate section of INTC-200 in Treehouse, and notify you by email that you can now register for the course.
7. If you are interested in requesting internship funding support to help cover the costs of completing your internship, then keep an eye on your email for an announcement about internship funding requests and the request form. Funding requests will be reviewed and responded to on a rolling basis, based on available resources. Please note that students are not guaranteed internship funding.
8. Complete the INTC-200 course requirements as indicated in the syllabus found in the Handshake Resources tab. Note that all assignments must be completed by the posted deadlines in order for you to receive credit for your internship.

You are expected to work a set amount of hours depending on how many credits you are registered for. Only active work hours during the dates of the term you register for will count towards your minimum required hours:

• 0 credits = 45 hours
• 1 credit = 45 hours
• 2 credits = 90 hours
• 3 credits = 135 hours
• 4 credits = 180 hours

INTC-200 is a Pass/No-Credit course. A grade of Pass will be awarded after successful completion of course requirements by the course deadlines.

Summer and January internships are registered and recorded as a Summer or January course, but the credits will appear on your transcript during the following semester (provided all requirements have been met).
