Internship Program

Internship Orientation Presentation Slides

• Remote internships will be reviewed for approval by the internship coordinator as part of the application process.  

The Internship Program application process takes time. Submit your application at the beginning of the Internship Program enrollment period (see Internship Enrollment Dates below), so you can start interning as early as possible. 

Remember there are fewer weeks to complete the same required number of hours during the summer sessions than the fall or spring semesters and you cannot begin counting your hours until you are enrolled in the internship class and the term (session/semester) has begun.

• Internship Application Form (available February 12, 2027)
• Internship Program Application Questions

Please note that you will be required to log in with your SMC email account/username (not your ID number) and password. Complete and submit the form. Forms time-out after 45 minutes.

If you cannot complete it, and the form has been enabled to save your progress, click the “Save Progress” button at the bottom of the page. You can return to it later by signing in at smc.edu/myforms. The "MyForms" portal shows forms you have submitted and those you have in progress.

1. Click on “Pending/Draft Forms”.
2. Identify the form you would like to resume and then click on the “Complete Form” button on the right side of the screen.
3. To review forms you have submitted in the past, click on “Forms History.” Then click on the icon for PDF or for the HTML view.
4. Once you have completed the missing questions/items, click the “Submit” button.
5. Once submitted, you will be prompted to view and download a PDF version of the submitted form. You can always see it, too, by login in at the MyForms portal.

After submitting your Internship Application, it may take up to 5 business days for the Career Services Center to review your form and email you the next steps. Messages are sent to your SMC email address (accessible via Corsair Connect and not through Canvas). Again, consider the Internship Application Form processing time and how many weeks you have to complete the course when determining if you should enroll in the Internship Program. There are fewer weeks to complete the same required number of hours during the winter or summer sessions versus the fall or spring semesters. 

Once your application has been reviewed, you will receive an email instructing you on what to do next. There are multiple steps to getting your Learning Objectives Contract approved. Typically, this process takes a week or 2, but it can take longer, depending on how quickly you and your supervisor respond to emails, and the availability of the Internship Program Coordinator. Once the process is complete, you will be given an add code.

Please check the Internship Program Enrollment Deadlines for more information about when applications are accepted, and the enrollment period for each term. It is important that you plan accordingly, considering this processing time.
