Contract Type

• Specify your contract type between Individual Learning Contract (ILC) and Internship Contract. If you would like to do an internship with an ILC component, select Internship Contract. You can specify the credit break down later.
• Specify if you will be earning undergraduate or graduate credit. If you are an undergraduate and would like to earn graduate credit, discuss the possibility with your sponsoring faculty.
• Specify if this contract is an in-program contract or individual study. In-program contracts are for any deviations from a program or course's syllabus by replacing or adding credits with alternative work. An in-program contract does not have to be registered with Registration and Records but must still be completed and documented in the contract system.

Credit Amount

Determine how many credits your contract will be. If you are creating an internship with an ILC component, the number of internship credits taken from the total credits will be how many ILC credits you will receive. Example:

A screenshot of the individual study contract page for specifying the number of credits. This specific contract is a 12 credit internship with an ILC component. The contract has 8 internship credits and 4 ILC credits.

Prior Study
