Internship Approval Form

Congratulations on securing your internship! Please begin the internship approval form by clicking the start button below. Once the internship director has received this form, the confirmation of placement form from your host and approval from department faculty, she will register you for your internship and send you a registration confirmation. Please make sure any possible account holds, such as advising or address verification, are cleared to ease the registration process.

For questions contact Jennifer Njenga, Internship Director, at njengaj@ferris.edu or 231-591-3049.

Please complete this form after you have accepted an internship. The other form that needs to be completed is the confirmation of placement form. This should be completed by your internship supervisor. Please email your supervisor the confirmation of placement form to complete, if you have not already done so: https://ferrisstateuniversity-nezno.formstack.com/forms/confirmation  Once both of these forms have been submitted, your internship will be reviewed by the your course instructor. You will be registered for the course once approved and contacted by email. If you have any questions about this process, please contact the internship director at cobinterns@ferris.edu.
