   1. Submit the online Internship Form and an automated email will be sent to your internship worksite supervisor, your faculty advisor, and if applicable to the international education center and/or honors program for approval in the form of electronic signature.
   2. If your internship worksite supervisor does not have access to email, contact internships@whitworth.edu to discuss alternative options.
5. Final review by the Whitworth Career Center
   1. Once all e-signatures have been obtained, the career center will conduct a final review of the contract and provide a signature. The career center will submit the finalized internship contract to the registrar's office for course registration, notifying the student once doing so.

During your internship, record your hours and activities worked on the Internship Time Log. Keep in mind, at the end of the internship, your internship worksite supervisor will need to review the time log and agree to the hours and activities worked by signing all pages of the time log.
