Once you have secured an internship with a company, you may then begin the registration process. Note that you may choose whether or not to receive academic credit for your internship. You can earn 1 credit for each 45-50 hours of work. Once you have identified your internship and are ready to register for the internship course, you will need to complete an online application.
Completing the Online Internship Application
- Access the Internship Database by clicking on the “Internship Application for Academic Credit” link found on the Career Center homepage at: Boise State Careers.
- Log in using your Boise State username and password.
- Click on the plus (+) sign next to the “Internship Application for Academic Credit” option on the left side menu, and then click on “Create Application” to begin your application. (If you do not see the option to “Create Application,” contact the Career Center for help – 426-1747 or career@boisestate.edu.)
- Enter all required information, and then click SUBMIT. (If you do not have all the information, you can hit SAVE and come back to it at another time, but remember, it is not submitted until you hit SUBMIT.)
- Once submitted, the application will be sent to your department internship coordinator for approval – he/she will get an email notification asking them to approve your internship.
- Once approved by your department internship coordinator, it will then be sent via email to your supervisor at the place you’re doing your internship for approval.
Once approved by the organization supervisor, it will be sent via email to the Registrar’s Office, and the approved internship course will be added to your class schedule in myBoisestate (Student Center).
Please note that you will NOT be registered for your internship course until your application is approved.
