FAQ

Am I eligible?

The student is registered for the class on Canvas.
Students must log on to Canvas to complete all assignments and paperwork by the deadlines including a 10-page paper.

How many credits can I earn?

If internship is approved and requirements are successfully met, academic credits are awarded based on number of hours worked at internship during the semester. 1 unit of credit is awarded for each 100 hours of internship work completed.
Syms students may earn a maximum of 3 credits of business internship, which may be earned all at once or in a combination of up to 3 internships. If a student earns 3 internship credits, he/she may count the credits as a business elective.
Both paid, as well as unpaid, internships can be considered eligible for credit, providing internships are approved.

Additional Rules:

Hours from one semester’s internship cannot be used for credit awarded in another semester. Students may submit/finalize their application after they have begun working but under no circumstance may a student apply for a business internship after they have completed the work.
•To avoid any potential conflicts of interest, students may NOT intern for a company owned or managed in any way by a family member. The internship supervisor may not be a family member or working under the supervision of a family member. •
Interns may NOT work at a “home-based” business, work from home, or tele-commute. •
Students must work on location at the internship site for the majority of their internship experience. •
Students may continue the same internship throughout different semesters/summers. However, in order to obtain credit, a new application must be submitted and new final documentation must be completed for each academic semester
Once registered, students MAY NOT withdraw from the internship. Students must complete all requirements, or they will receive an “N” (no credit) grade.

Fees:

For summer or part-time students in any semester, there will be a flat rate tuition charge plus a registration fee. Contact the Office of Student Finance (212-960-5269) or visit http://yu.edu/osf/tuition-fees/undergraduate/ for details about paying in person or via credit card by phone.
