• Obtain written permission from the faculty coordinator for your major or minor if you plan to apply the credit(s) to a BYU Kennedy Center major or minor requirement

• Students participating in an On-Campus Internship may skip this step, as an Internship Agreement is not required.

• If not, have your internship provider complete one before registering for internship credit

• Submit the required BYU internship application through the BYU Careers & Experiential Learning website

• Schedule an appointment with the Kennedy Center Domestic Internship Coordinator in the Advisement Center, 273 HRCB
• Bring your permission from your faculty coordinator if applicable
• Bring a newly signed Internship Agreement if applicable
• At the appointment, the coordinator will review the BYU’s internship policies, the registration process, course requirements and approve your BYU internship application

• Wait for an email confirming your internship application approval
• Register for IAS 399R (or GWS 399R for GWS students)
