Before You Begin

Getting Your Paperwork in Order

Once you have been accepted as a paid or unpaid intern, there are several documents which must be filled out to formalize the internships. All of these documents can be found in the Master of Science (MS) forms section of the ITLS website, and most specifically in the Internship Handbook portion. The following is a summary of the procedure:

  1. Select a Graduate Committee Chairperson
  2. Complete the Program of Study sheet
  3. Once selected for internship, it must be formalized. This must be done with the Internship Agreement form.
  4. Complete the Internship Proposal, a document at least three pages in length (double spaced) which follows the guidelines found in the Internship Handbook.

Completion of these documents is essential to receiving credit for the internship. These are solely the responsibility of the individual intern.
