7. Internship Across Multiple Semesters  While most students engage in only one internship in a single semester, you may engage in more than one across multiple semesters  Same site – multiple semesters  Different site – secondary semester(s)

8. Secondary semester(s) of Internship at Same Site  If continuing at the same site for additional semester(s), you will not be expected to engage in the “Off Site” activities previously described, but must successfully engage the “On Site” activities.  With successful completion of On Site activities, the student will be assigned the same course grade as in their first semester  If the student seeks a different course grade, then both On Site and Off Site activities must be pursued with different research topics for the course papers and presentation

9. Secondary semester(s) of Internship at a New Site  If a student desires to pursue a secondary internship in a new or different location, they must engage all course activities as described in the course syllabus  Essentially, this is an entirely new internship, requiring entirely new work  The course grade will be determined by the work submitted during the semester
