How To Earn Academic Credit For International Internships?
Absolute Internship recognizes the importance of academic credit for university students. We partner with Northern Arizona University (NAU) to award transcripted academic credit to students who wish to apply credit toward their degree. We work with each student individually to ensure you have the tools needed to apply for and receive credit.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Get Academic Credit
What Do You Need?
Before starting the enrollment process, review these key requirements with your home university:
- Determine Credit Need: Do you need academic credit for your internship program?
- Check Transferability: Will your home university accept transfer credits for your internship program?
- Identify Documentation: What specific materials will your university request in order to accept transfer credits?
Contact Your Home University
While students from any university are welcome to enroll to earn academic credits for the internship program through Northern Arizona University, not all universities are able to accept these transfer credits and apply them to students’ degrees.
Check with your university to ensure that the credits would be accepted and counted toward your graduation requirements. Absolute Internship will be happy to provide any additional information your academic advisor might need.
Contact Your Enrollment Coordinator
Mention your interest in earning academic credits during your Enrollment interview. It is your responsibility to confirm with your Enrollment Coordinator, either during the call or after you have been accepted into the internship program, that you would like to enroll in the academic credits program. Your Enrollment Coordinator will support you with the next steps.
Pay Your Program Tuition
Enrollment to your academic credit is not finalized until you have paid the program tuition, which is separate from your program fee.
Complete Your International Internship
You must complete all the required components in order to obtain your academic credit. You will need to complete the minimum required hours as well as additional written assignments to receive credit from our School of Record.
