    ELR Internship Course

    Internships being completed for ELR units must be pre-approved prior to registering for the ELR Class.  The asynchronous class is instructed by the CAS Director of Internships at the same time the internship experience is taking place.  The corresponding course focuses on personal and professional development.  An ELR Workbook is utilized for this experience to guide learning and accomplishment of learning objectives. This is a non-credit-bearing class that require 40 hours of internship work for every 1 unit earned. To provide interns with a strong workplace experience, in-person internships are preferred. Hybrid and remote experiences will be considered on a case-by-case basis requiring verification that the organization has structures, systems, and policies that support and accommodate a remote full-time staff member.   This ensures that the intern is supported by an established system for hybrid/remote work.   Registration for Fall 2024 will open on August 5, 2024.  NOTE: Students must register for and be taking the internship class at the same time they are actively working in the internship.  No retroactive credit will be awarded. For more information about completing an internship to satisfy the ELR requirement, you may also contact CAS Director of Internships, Nancy Carpenter.
