General
This section asks for information about your Student Learning Plan. Please see your Faculty Internship Advisor if you have questions about the Student Learning Plan.
In this General section, each time you select Next Page, you will be asked to provide information on your academic objectives, career-related objectives, personal objectives, and full-time student status.
If you will not be enrolled as a full-time student during the semester of your internship, then the next page will give you information on the GEN 099 Request.
Select the Request Experience button once you have all of the sections completed.
After you select Request Experience, Handshake will send the information to the employer for approval and then to the professor/department head for approval. Once approvals have been completed, Handshake will send you a message that the internship experience is approved.
