• Students call or visit the affiliated internship sites in advance of the students’ Preference List Due Date (Sept 15 of the student’s final year)
• A student is “matched” at a site for which a valid agreement with the University exists at the time of the placement decision.
• The Program faculty work together to match each student as closely as possible with the student’s top choice, some sites may be more popular than others
• Because the final decision is made by the Program (typically in October), the student remains eligible to receive financial aid (if already receiving aid)
• The internship time frame is typically Jan 2 – June 30
• The DGS interns are not paid, a few sites may provide a small stipend
  

Once matched, the student is responsible for…

• locating housing
• transportation
• parking costs
• housing costs
• University tuition for 15-16 credits clinical/practicum course work
