Reporting Expectations

Once students are admitted to the internship program, they must complete all the appropriate and necessary forms that are listed under the responsibilities of the student intern, submit them according to the timeline, and obtain approval from the faculty supervisor.
Student intern is expected to apply the academic knowledge and concepts to improve the essential skills. In addition, the intern is expected to demonstrate this knowledge by recording the internship activities such as completing the required clock hours, written logs, and the required forms.

Successful reporting is based on detailed explanation of tasks and activities, how academic preparation provided applicable and adequate background for the student to perform duties, assignments, and tasks, and recognition of the significance of the tasks to the success of the work experience.

At the competition of the internship, the student intern is required to produce an internship report, final bound portfolio, and presentation. The portfolio must include the forms such as copies of all time sheets, log reports, and the statement of achieved goals and projected experiences. This portfolio will serve as a permanent record of the internship performance for the student.
