What about internships?

Because they do not claim campus resources, off-island internships don’t count as one of the nine semesters in residence. They do count for credits counted in that year. 

Students who have qualified for scholarships that choose to go on an internship will have the semester before their internship used to evaluate their future eligibility, not the internship semester.

I-WORK students are authorized to apply for an off-campus internship during their nine-semester sequence. I-WORK students can be authorized for 9 semesters in residence and one on an internship in which they have no claim on campus resources (i.e. are not living on campus or taking any classes on campus, online courses not included).

The semester they are gone on an internship does not count toward one of the semesters they are in I-WORK. I-WORK will cover the cost of tuition for the experiential learning/internship semester. However, costs such as travel or lodging associated with the experience are the responsibility of the student. Students may apply with Career Services for funding assistance according to experiential learning funding guidelines. Since I-WORK does not cover living expenses during the internship, students are encouraged to find paid internships. 

Students gone during the Summer semester for school-sanctioned internships or other approved absences may sublease their TVA apartment to other eligible students, upon submitting the proper documentation to the appropriate departments.
