Hameetman Career Center INT Internship Program
Internships for credit must be educational experiential opportunities that meet the criteria established by Occidental and approved by the Hameetman Career Center (HCC). Students must be able to complete a minimum of 80 hours per semester of experiential learning in order to enroll in either internship course and receive credit (INT 100 or INT 200). To meet this requirement, students are advised to register within the first two weeks of the semester; however, internships may be approved until mid-semester. Students must register in the appropriate internship course (see below) by listed deadlines. For either course option, it is required that students have sophomore, junior, and senior and at least part-time, registered in at least six units, status. Additionally, students must have a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better at the time of application for internship credit. Only CR/NC grades will be given for internships. Students are only allowed to enroll in one internship course per semester. All students enrolled in an internship, whether for two units or zero units, must complete a reflective essay and internship evaluation, as instructed by the HCC. The HCC will also request two performance evaluations (mid and final) from the listed on-site internship supervisor. Students are obliged to notify HCC , faculty supervisor, and on-site supervisor before dropping or withdrawing from an internship as well as submit the appropriate paperwork to the Office of the Registrar. Retroactive enrollment will not be approved and credit not be issued even in cases where an internship has been completed. Students enrolling in an internship course for the summer will be charged reduced fees for units. See the summer website or consult the HCC, the Office of the Registrar, or the Student Accounts Office for fee information.
