A Request to Initiate Partnership - Academic Internship (RTIP) must be completed by a representative of the organization to begin a formal campus partnership. The CCE will review requests according to the university's academic internship policy. Once the request is approved by CCE staff, the Internship Partner Agreement will be sent directly from the CCE to the partner.
Please note that the review process may take 2-3 weeks at the beginning of the semester due to high volumes of activity. It is best to submit the request 4-6 weeks prior to the start of the term.
