If the proposed program requires the completion of an internship or similar experience, the following expectations apply:

• The requirement for the internship is detailed in the program description.
• The internship is a learning experience that provides opportunities for the student to apply knowledge gained through coursework.
  • The primary purpose of the internship is not to advance the operations of the internship site/employer or to complete work that a regular employer would routinely perform.
• Qualified members of the faculty are assigned to oversee each internship experience.
• The requirements for each internship experience are outlined in a complete and thorough syllabus, including the elements listed in the Department Expectations: Curriculum document/section of this document. The syllabus also includes the following information, if applicable:
  • required 鈥渙n-campus鈥� meetings
  • required assignments, e.g., reading assignments, portfolio
  • duration and hours of the internship
  • salary
• Students are made fully aware of tuition, fees, minimum qualifications or eligibility requirements, and process and/or registration requirements that are specific to the internship.听
• Students participating in internships are provided a job description or similar document, outlining the specific activities of the position.
• The institution is responsible for communicating and contracting with the internship hosts, for visiting internship sites, and for securing mid-term and final evaluation reports from the hosts.听

Financial Aid Considerations for Degree Programs

The eligibility of the proposed program for the 澳门特码王 Tuition Assistance Program (TAP).is determined through a review of the Sample Student Schedule.听

If a program can be completed in the 鈥渘ormal鈥� time for the particular degree level, the program is registered as being offered on a full-time basis. Only programs registered as full time are eligible for TAP.

A full-time program is one that is capable of completion in the 鈥渘ormal鈥� time. For example,听听of the Regulations of the Commissioner of Education specifies that a four-year undergraduate degree must be capable of completion in four academic years of full-time study. Thus, a baccalaureate degree that requires 120 semester hours should be capable of completion at the rate of 15 semester hours per semester to be completed in the normal time of four academic years.

鈥淔ull-time program鈥� differs from a student鈥檚 full-time course load or full-time study requirements. While a full-time program must be capable of completion in the normal time to be registered as a full-time program, students need not complete the program at the rate of 15 semester hours a semester. The full-time study requirement, pursuant to Commissioner鈥檚 Regulations section 145-2.1 (a), is a minimum course load of at least 12 semester hours.
