Deferred and supplementary exams:
If you have been granted a deferred or supplementary exam, you may not be able to participate in a Domestic or Global internship due to date restrictions. Please contact examinations for further assistance.
Global internship implications on semester exchange applications:
It is recommended that students do not participate in a Global internship directly before a semester-based exchange. Overseas travel prior to an exchange can negatively impact your ability to obtain a student visa for both a global internship and semester-based experience. In some cases, students may need to choose to only participate in one global experience.
Students who participate in a global internship immediately prior to a semester-based exchange must acknowledge the following:
It is your responsibility to research immigration procedures for your host country/countries.
The Internship Team and the internship provider are not able to expedite the processing of your application, visa documents, or visa application due to impending travel plans.
If you choose to withdraw from either experience, you must contact the Internship Team to confirm your withdrawal.
Participation in multiple experiences with overlapping dates
The Internship Team strongly recommend that students choose only one experience to participate in during each application round. Participating and committing to multiple experiences during an overlapping period can be very challenging. If you choose to withdraw from either experience, you must contact the Internship Team and or the Global Experiences Team to confirm your withdrawal.
