How to Earn Credit for Your Experience
In addition to the fantastic experience, skills, references, etc. that an internship will provide, you can also arrange for academic credit! There are strict guidelines and protocol if you want credit for your internship, and these guidelines are listed through the EXCEL in the Compass.

*Important: just because you find an internship through programs like Handshake or CareerShift does NOT mean it is credit-bearing. Wondering if your opportunity can count for credit? Contact Tina Cooper, Site Coordinator with EXCEL, at tina.cooper@oswego.edu or make an appointment here. You ALWAYS need to work with EXCEL well before your internship begins to obtain credit.
