Procedure for registering for ITCS 6490 Industrial Internship

• Obtain an internship with a company.  Must be closely related to Computer Science. (The Computer Science department does not offer a service for finding  internships.)
• Find a faculty member who is willing to supervise internship (not the graduate coordinator).
  
• Fill in departmental  ITCS 6490 industrial internship proposal form (here).
• Get supervisor's signature.
  
• Attach a letter from the company indicating that they will offer the internship and describing the work involved.
• Give form and letter to Dora Bradley (Woodward 421A) to pass onto the MS graduate coordinator.
• If everything in order, form will be signed and you will be permitted to register.
  
• Although the section is in the name of the graduate coordinator, the faculty supervisor listed on the proposal form supervises the work and assigns the final grade, which is entered by the graduate coordinator. A grade of IP can never be given. A grade of I will not be accepted except under exceptional documented medical reasons.
  
• It is normally expected that you have not completed your 30 hours towards your degree.
  

International students may have additional forms to complete for visa requirements, see International Office.
