How to earn credit for your internship

The following criteria must be met in order for students to gain credit for their internship:

• Students must be in good academic standing: cumulative ASU GPA of 2.0 or better.
• The company must be an LLC.
• Internship should allow you to explore career fields of interest and connect with your educational goals.
• Minimal routine administrative or clerical work should be no more than 20% of time worked.
• Internships can be completed in person, hybrid, or remote.

CISA will not approve internship credit for:

• Students cannot earn internship credit for duties performed as part of their current full-time employment.
• Experiences which involve door to door solicitation/sales, or that require students to market goods/services/brands to university students on campus.
• Students may not intern for themselves, a family member or relative, a friend, a significant other, a current ASU student, or any person that they have a relationship with that may be deemed as a conflict of interest (such as a coach, future in-law, or any person who reports directly or indirectly to any of the above).
• Experiences focused exclusively on manual labor (for example: working on a farm doing the work of weeding, planting, etc.). There must be additional projects and learning opportunities.
• Internship organization needs to be a legally established/incorporated and insured business or non-profit (not an uninsured sole proprietorship).
• Internships involving the sale or distribution of medical marijuana. The possession or use of marijuana on ASU’s campus is illegal under state law, the use of marijuana is illegal under federal law, and ASU complies with the Drug-Free Schools and Campuses Act.
