How to Complete the Internship Work Plan 📝

Have you secured an internship with a government or nonprofit organization? If not, review the Find Internships Page to apply for internships. 

If you have secured an internship, are you ready to enroll in your internship course? Here's how to complete your Work Plan:

What It Is:
The work plan is a four-page document that ensures students, internship sites, and UA SGPP have a shared understanding of student internship responsibilities and expectations. It also serves as official documentation of your internship experience for course credit.

 What You Do:

  • Students will complete Pages 1–3. Unsure of how many credits to enroll in? Read the Internship Requirements 

  • Use the guide on pages 8–10 to complete pages 2 & 3 

  • Your internship site supervisor fills out page 4 (email the work plan to your internship site supervisor to complete)

  • Once all 4 pages are complete, upload the PDF document to the online portal.
    → Do NOT email your Work Plan to your Internship Coordinator. 

  • Your Internship Coordinator will review the portal regularly and enroll you in the course accordingly.  

Work Plan Submission

Submit your work plan online as a PDF (do not upload your work plan in Word format or upload pictures) by the deadlines. After submission, check UAccess for enrollment and D2L for course details. You’ll be enrolled once your plan is approved.

SUBMIT WORK PLAN

Please submit your SGPP work plan online by the specified deadline (see above). Make sure to indicate the session (Summer, Fall, or Spring) and the number of units you plan to complete. Your work plan will be reviewed, and once approved, you will be enrolled in the internship section.
Allow up to two weeks for the Internship Coordinator to process your work plan.

Work Plan Enrollment

Please do not email the Internship Coordinator to:

  • Notify them that you have submitted your work plan
  • Inquire about the status of your work plan

The Internship Coordinator regularly reviews the submission portal and will enroll you in the course accordingly once your work plan has been reviewed and approved. Check your UAccess to verify your enrollment.
