Where can I get a form/instructions for an internship?
Internships can be taken by both undergraduate and graduate students. The guidelines are printed on the form which can be found on our Student Forms page.
Internships are to be graded on an S/U basis. To register for an internship a "Special Course Form" must be completed with departmental signatures before obtaining the Graduate Dean's signature.
Most, if not all, internship hosts require professional liability insurance prior to a student's participation in an internship or practicum. ASU requires coverage for all students enrolled in internship or practicum courses, except student teaching. When registered for an internship, a fee is applied to the student's account for instatement of professional liability insurance coverage.
The following administrative policy governs internships:
1. An applicant for an internship must be working within a reasonable distance of the University.
2. The number of registrants for the internship is limited.
3. The intern must work under a fully licensed supervisor.
4. The supervisor must express a willingness to supervise the work and provide the experiences necessary for the intern.
How can I get a seat in a class that is filled?
First ask the permission of the instructor, then have the instructor email the Program's administrative assistant their consent. Call (828-262-3177) with your request and the administrative assistant will add the seat.
