AIP Checklists

Students interested in applying to AIP are most successful if they plan in advance. The checklists are meant to serve as a guide to provide details on what is required before applying to AIP, the application process itself, what to keep in mind while enrolled in AIP, and what the next steps are to ensure academic credit is received once the course has concluded.

Additionally, while the checklists provide a general overview, you will also find more in-depth guides within each step as well.

Overview of application and enrollment process for AIP

Before AIP

Before applying to AIP, students must have secured an internship prior to applying to AIP. This means that the application and enrollment process should be followed in the quarter preceding the internship.For example, if a students' internship would start in January, the application and enrollment process would need to be completed during Fall Quarter of that academic year.

Steps to keep in mind before applying:

  1. Secure an internship
  2. Review Course and Unit Options
  3. Review AIP deadlines

Applying to AIP

Once a student has secured their internship and reviewed the course details for AIP, they can begin the application process:

  1. Connect with a Faculty Advisor
  2. Submit a Learning Agreement
  3. Submit an enrollment request via an EASy Request

Note: International students interested in enrolling in AIP for a Curricular Practical Training (CPT) requirement will need to submit an application for CPT after they have enrolled in the course.

During AIP

Once a student is enrolled in an AIP course, there are a few tasks to keep in mind to make the most your internship experience and ensure you receive credit for AIP.

Students interested in continuing their internship at the same site and taking AIP again should contact AIP staff and create a new Learning Agreement. Students may do up to three AIP internships (and may not exceed a total of 16 units of AIP).

After completing AIP

Once your final deliverable is submitted and your AIP course has concluded, remember to complete the following:

  • Check to ensure you have received a grade for your AIP course
    • If you have not received a grade for the course, a completed grade report from your Faculty Advisor and/or a final evaluation from your Internship Supervisor may be pending. Please contact AIP through the VAC with your specific situation. 
  • Complete a testimonial form describing your experience in AIP
