While academic departments and Faculty Supervisors have the autonomy to design their internship courses according to their style and academic discipline, there are university expectations and resources to ensure a quality internship experience for students. Below are guidelines and resources to help you identify the requirements for a UVU internship course, as well as optional resources, including templates. Please note that all university-required internship tasks and assignments must be completed each semester the student is enrolled.

Determining the grading format for your course is dependent on factors such as departmental policy, internship type, and academic rigor. While it is common for Pass/Fail courses to be used for internship courses, students may have a more academic and dedicated approach if the students’ performance is assessed using a traditional grading scale. The Career and Internship Center recommends using a traditional grading scale, however, this determination is ultimately up to each department.
We offer optional course content to help Faculty Supervisors build effective internship courses and understand the types of assignments that enhance students' internship experiences through structure and career preparation.
