Please print legibly and fill out the form in its entirety. Be sure that you and your employer both sign the bottom of the form.
4. Meet with Mike O’Conner (SS401) to review the Learning Agreement and to determine the course and number of credits for which you may register. Our office will then forward the Learning Agreement to the Internship Services.
