Important Information for You to Know

● You cannot register for internship (MMC 4975) online with the rest of your
courses until you have turned in a completed packet and are approved by the internship coordinator. Then an official email will be sent to your UNF email account giving you permission to register.

● Internship locations will evaluate you just as they evaluate regular employees.
This means that poor performance on your part can lead to your dismissal. If that
happens you will receive a grade of “F.”

● Students may not intern at their place of employment unless their internship
duties will provide learning experiences that differ from and go beyond those of the
regular job responsibilities.
