Receiving Academic Credit for Internship Experience

* Since the two are independent programs of each other, students may not apply hours obtained through the Senior Reflective Tutorial (RFT) towards an internships for academic credit, vice versa. An internship for academic credit can be taken concurrently with the Senior RFT, and hours can be done at the same organization, but the hours must be earned seperate from each other. Before using the same company twice, students are expected to check with their RFT professor to verify that they find this acceptable for their course.
