   2. Also use the tips on the top of the “FAQs” page above to help.

2. Once you have an internship set up (job, volunteer experience, shadowing), email Daniel Dearden at daniel_dearden@byu.edu. Be sure to include the following in your email:

   1. Your name and netID
   2. Your major
   3. The semester you want credit for
   4. The company you are interning with
   5. A 3-6 sentence description of what you will be doing for the internship AND how it is related to your major
3. If approved, Daniel will send you an email with next steps, which will include some preliminary assignments before you can enroll in the class.

Things to know:

• You will need 45 hours of experience per credit you enroll in.
• This is a credit/no credit class (formerly pass/fail), so it will not impact your GPA.
• You cannot receive retroactive credit for work you’ve already done. You can start counting hours only AFTER you enroll in credit.
• LFSCI 199R does not qualify for college internship travel grants.
