0-credit (IDIS 494) Internship Registration Requirements - On or Off Campus
This option allows students to have their non-credit internship listed on their academic transcript as a 0-Credit Internship Course without a tuition charge. This includes overseas non-credit internships not associated with a study abroad program. This option allows non-credit internship experiences to be officially recognized by the College, but DOES NOT PROVIDE ACADEMIC CREDIT.
The course is graded S/U, is worth 0-credits, and will be listed on your transcript if all requirements are met.
Benefits of Registering Your Internship as 0-Credit:
- Internship will be listed on your academic transcript and you will not incur any tuition charges
- Internship experience is officially recognized by St. Norbert College
- By completing a learning agreement that you, your supervisor and the Career Services office signs it ensures that learning will take place and if not, Career Services can assist as a mediator between you and the organization
To receive a satisfactory(S) grade for each IDIS 494 listing, please complete steps 1-4 below.
1. Registration for the 0-Credit Course
Once you have notified Career Services of your internship placement, a career counselor will approve you to register for the 0-Credit IDIS 494 Internship Course on KnightLine. This will ensure that it is listed on your academic transcript and officially recognized by the college.
2. Complete a Learning Agreement
Starting Fall 2011, there is a NEW process for completing learning agreements. Learning agreements should still be submittied within one week of your start date. Please contact Career Services if your learning agreement will be submitted after your first week.
- Login to Career Connections
- Click on "Report an Internship" on the left side, under "I want to"
- Select the internship term
- Click on "click here to enter position information"
- Enter your Internship Title and click Continue
- Enter all of the required fields (marked by red asterick)
- Read the "Memorandum of Understanding for Interns"
- E-sign, enter the date and click Finish
After the above process is complete, Career Services will review your learning agreement and forward it on for approval by your site supervisor. They will e-sign it and it will be returned to Career Services electronically for final approval.
A new learning agreement is required for EACH TERM (semester/summer) you intern, even if your site remains the same.
3. Internship Evaluations
End-of-semester online evaluations will be emailed to you regarding the internship experience and to work-site supervisors regarding your performance. Evaluations are required at the end of EACH semester and summer you intern, even if your internship site remains the same. You are strongly encouraged to discuss both evaluations with your supervisor, which can serve as an excellent reflection and learning opportunity. Both the student and supervisor should retain a copy of each of the evaluations.
4. Hours
You must complete a minimum of 60 hours at your internship site, which will be documented on the end-of-semester evaluations by both you and your work-site supervisor.
5. Internship Certificate & Internship Profile
Upon completion of your internship, please contact Career Services if you wish to receive an internship certificate to use in your professional portfolio.
You may consider creating an Internship Profile as a way to market yourself to potential employers while creating a positive online presence. Internship Profiles may also aid current SNC students in their career exploration.
