1. Prepare documents you will need to upload with your application
- Internship Goals and Expectations - Contains the objectives of your internship and the expectations that your internship organization has of you. Completed by you and your internship supervisor. Signed by your supervisor. Note that if you are taking FHCE 5960 or 7960, you must also complete a quantitative analysis project. While the project specifics can be identified during the internship, you need to confirm with your supervisor that this can be done.
- Intern Expectations - Contains our expectations of you as an intern. Signed by you.
- Be sure to tell your internship supervisor to watch for a DocuSign agreement with UGA's Memorandum of Understanding. This is a required document for your internship.
NOTE: It is very important that all three documents are received. You will be auto-unenrolled in the course if they are not.
2. Complete and submit the online application with the documents identified above
3. Register for the course (if doing the internship for credit)
Once the application is received, the FHCE Graduate Program Administrator will notify you of your permission to register. Then go on Athena to register for your internship.
Change the number of hours of academic credit to what you indicated on your application (View Instructions).
Top Mistake: Not changing the hours of credit. The system defaults to 2 credit hours.
Once the course officially begins, you will have access to the eLC site for the course. Go to eLC and read the information there to learn what is expected and how to log your hours.
Waive fees if you qualify: If you only register for FHCE 5910/7910/5960/7960 and will not be on campus for other classes this semester, you will be able to waive many of the fees in Athena. FHCE 5910/7910/5960/7960 is coded in such a way that you can waive fees that apply to services that you won’t be on campus to use. The biggest part of mandatory fees is the special institutional fee ($450). If you take less than 5 credit hours, the fee will be reduced by 50%. The technology fee is not waivable.
