Important notes for students - BEFORE COMPLETING ONLINE COURSES

  • Determine whether you are taking a department-based internship/co-op (examples: CIT 396, CMST396, MIN 396, PRE 396, etc.) or the campus-wide co-op (CEP 300, CEP 600).  Select the semester that corresponds to both the timeframe of your experience and the course you wish to take. 
  • Have your supervisor's name, title, address, phone and email available.
  • Gather the job description or web-link for the job description.  If you cannot locate a copy, type a paragraph or two to describe the position.
  • Create three student learning objectives (major- or minor-related educational goals) for this position. You will discuss them with your supervisor and your faculty coordinator prior to completing the online form. Be prepared to…
    • Describe the educational goal:
    • Describe how you plan to accomplish this goal:
    • Describe how and when the goal will be evaluated:
  • Once you begin the Experiential Learning form, you must complete it; the system does not allow you to save for editing at a later time.

Next Steps
Once the application has been received, your co-op/internship manager will initiate the workflow. This will generate a system email (from careerservices@nku.edu) to your supervisor for his/her approval.  Once approved, the system will automatically send an email to your faculty coordinator, requesting approval.  Once approved by both parties, your co-op/internship manager will communicate with you about the next steps.  Please check your email regularly for updates.
