What if I am participating in an internship, but not applying for course credit? Do I need to submit any documentation?

We encourage students to participate in internships whether they are applying for course credit for the internship or not. While there is no documentation required for students participating in internships that are not for course credit, we would greatly appreciate students tell us what they are doing! This helps up learn about what opportunities may exist for future students and get an understanding of all of the great work that current students are doing. To submit your internship (not for course credit) information, go to this webpage – https://marshall.joinhandshake.com/experiences/new; select College of Business – Internship (non-course credit) for the Experience Type.
