Registration in QUIP is ongoing. We recommend registering as early as possible to maximize the time available for attending workshops, one-on-one advising appointments, and exploring internship opportunities.
Once you have been successful in securing an internship, you will be enrolled in the relevant INTN courses required for a 12-16-month internship (course fees apply). The internship itself consists of three or four courses – one for each term the student is employed – for a total of 6.0 units.
Note: INTN 301/1.5-INTN 305/1.5 may not be used to satisfy the elective or Plan requirements of any degree program in Arts and Science (120.0 units). They may only be used to satisfy the requirements of the internship Plan, which requires students to complete the 6.0 units of INTN courses in addition to the 120.0 units required for the degree, for a total of 126.0 units.
