Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register for the internship?
Please check the internship registration page.
Do I have to register for not-for-credit internships?
No. You only have to register if you want to receive credits for the internship.
How many internships can I register for?
You are permitted only one for-credit internship during your studies at GPIA. In other words, you are allowed only three Internship credits in your 30 or 42-credit degree. However, you are allowed to participate in as many internships as you like for experience or no-credit.
Do I have to pay for a for-credit internship?
Yes. You are receiving three credits for the internship; therefore you have to pay the tuition fee for three (3) credits just as you would for a regular three-credit classroom course.
Am I allowed to intern during my first semester or year at GPIA?
You are not allowed to do a for-credit intern during your first semester, as we prefer you focus on classes, and get settled into our program.
Will my internship show up on my transcipt?
If you have applied to recieve credit for your internship, it will show up on your transcript once completed. Additionally, if you would like the specific organization that you worked for to show up on your transcript, you can request that the name of the organization be put on your transcript. For example, if you interned and recieved credit for working with UNICEF, you can request that the 'UNICEF' appear on your transcript under internship.
How many hours am I eligible to work for if I am and International Student?
You are allowed to work a total of 20 hours per week as an international student. If you held two jobs, for instance, one on-campus and another off-campus, you are still only eligible to work a total of 20 combined hours. For further enquiries on international student eligibilites and employment status, go to International Student Services or contact Celesti Colds Fechter at coldscf@newschool.edu
Is there a resource-page to search for-credit internship opportunities?
Yes, you can use the internship directory.
