What about internships?
Face-to-face internships (for which remote work in an alternate modality is not possible) should follow the same schedule outlined in the university’s operational timetable which means that on-site hours are suspended through at least April 3rd. Students enrolled in for-credit internships should connect with their faculty sponsor to review the number of internship hours completed and discuss alternate means of completing the internship. Depending on the number of hours worked, the student and faculty member could decide that the internships commitment relative to the credit received has been met and/or could be met with an appropriate academic component. The Center for Career and Professional Development is ready and prepared to support these conversations.
