How to Complete the Internship Work Plan 📝

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 (communicate with your supervisor about the work plan requirements)

  • 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.  

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.
