NOTE: Students that are graduating and are not subsequently enrolled in another program might not meet the workhour requirements prior to graduation and will be at risk for not being able to convert to a career or careerconditional appointment For qualification purposes an academic year is computed as follows: At the undergraduate level successfully completed education that has not led to possession of a degree is credited based on its relationship to 120 semester hours or 180 quarter hours. For example 30 semester hours or 45 quarter hours is comparable to 1 year of undergraduate education. Four years of progressive study or 120 semester hours meets the degree requirements. Additional credit cannot be given for duplicate course work. For study at a business or technical school 36 weeks of study (20 classroom hours per week) is comparable to 1 academic year above high school. An academic year of graduate education is considered to be the number of credit hours that the school attended has determined to represent 1 academic year of fulltime study. This determination is made based on normal course loads for a full year of study in the graduate program. If that information cannot be obtained from the school 18 semester hours or 27 quarter hours should be considered as satisfying the 1 year of fulltime study requirement. Parttime graduate education is creditable in accordance with its relationship to a year of fulltime study at the school attended. When academic credit is expressed in contract months units or other terms that differ from conventional semester or quarter hours it is the responsibility of the applicant to provide an interpretation of such credits from the appropriate institution in order to equate them to the semester or quarter hours specified in the standard. NOTE: If your college vocational trade technical or high schools definition of academic year differs from above you must submit proof of this difference (e.g. copy of course catalog that defines an academic year). Absent this documentation you will screened for academic qualifications based on the academic hours as defined in the bullets above. NOTE: Students that are graduating in December 2024 and are not subsequently enrolled in another program will not be eligible for this Student Intern opportunity. Students must provide proof of current student status. Students that are graduating within the next few months might not meet the workhour requirements prior to graduation and will be at risk for not being able to convert to a career or careerconditional appointment
