Enrollment in Undergraduate Divisional Internship Courses

Enrollment in these courses requires an internship related to the student’s major. Students apply academic principles and skills outside the classroom and submit required written work reflecting on their experience and how it enhances and advances the student’s academic program. Students receive a pass/fail (CT/NC) grade for the course which carries 0.10 credits on their Dartmouth undergraduate transcript.

Internship Courses

There are four divisional internship courses. Students' internship must be directly related to the students' major. Students enroll in the divisional course appropriate for their major.

• AHUM 095: Internship Reflection and Analysis in the Humanities
• IDP 095: Internship Reflection and Analysis in Interdisciplinary Studies
• SCI 095: Internship Reflection and Analysis in the Sciences
• SOC 095: Internship Reflection and Analysis in the Social Sciences

Internship Course Process

Application Deadline - During the term prior to participating in the internship, students apply for the internship course. Applications are due around two weeks prior to the start of the internship term.

Students submit their application to the Registrar’s Office which is forwarded to the appropriate Divisional Instructor for review and approval. Instructor permission is required for all Divisional Internship courses.

Internship Term - Students partake in the internship during an Off/Leave term in their D-Plan.

Divisional Course Enrollment Term - During the term immediately following the internship term, students complete an On/Resident term, during which they are enrolled in the Divisional Internship Course and complete their final written report. Students will then receive a final grade of Credit (CT) or No Credit (NC) on their undergraduate transcript.

Application Form

Students submit their Divisional Internship Course Application to the Registrar's Office by the posted deadline, which is around two weeks prior to the start of the internship term.

The Registrar’s Office will forward your internship project request to the appropriate instructor for review.

The instructor will review the description to ensure the internship is appropriate for the student's major. If rejected, the instructor will notify the student and provide a brief rationale for the rejection. If approved, the instructor will notify the student and the Registrar's Office, who will enroll the student in the appropriate Divisional Internship course.

For additional information see the Divisional Internship FAQ page.

Obtaining CPT (for international students only)

Once enrolled in the Divisional Internship course, OVIS will reach out to international students with instructions for requesting Curricular Practical Training (CPT). Students will need to provide OVIS with a dated and signed employment letter on employer letterhead, with location and dates of employment, supervisor and title, and a brief description of how the training is relevant to your program of study.

Once approved, OVIS will issue a new Form I-20 to the student with CPT authorization.

General information about CPT can be found on the OVIS website.
