Getting an EEO Recognized on your CCR
The Arts Internship Office (AIO) is 辞苍濒测听able to give approval for the third section:听Enriched Educational Opportunities听(non-credit, experiential opportunities approved by Faculties).听Enriched Educational Opportunities (EEOs) are high quality mobility or work experience opportunities that take place outside of the classroom; they foster self-development and can help students transition successfully to the workplace or graduate studies.听
The Faculty of Arts Internship Office will determine which EEO opportunities shall be eligible to be recognized as an EEO on the Co-Curricular Record (CCR). These may include unpaid (or insufficiently paid to cover cost outlay) internships and research internship opportunities, depending on faculty-based priorities. They may be in-person or remote, local (off-campus and not at 成人VR视频-affiliated hospital or research institute) within Canada or abroad.
Eligibility Criteria for Faculty of Arts Internships
Faculty of Arts Student eligibility听is determined as follows:
- All steps should be completed well in advance of the start of your internship. No approval will be granted after you have started your internship.
- Be enrolled in an undergraduate Faculty of Arts degree (B.A., B.A & Sc., BSW, B.Th.) and be returning to the Faculty of Arts in the same program the semester following your internship.
- Once EEO is completed, have proof of such for after-the-fact verification, with entry on the co-curricular record.
- Please note the Arts Internship Office will not support fee based and third-party internship opportunities.
Please note that internship hours during the Fall or Winter semester should normally be around 150 hours, 10-15 hours per week (maximum of 20 hours). Students who choose to do an internship during Fall/Winter semester, are encouraged to meet with an Arts Advisor prior to start of internship, to help better plan academic terms and ensure the internship does not interfere with your academic study.

What is an Internship?
An internship is a short-term, hands-on, supervised work experience with a professional organization. It provides the student with an invaluable opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge acquired in the classroom to real world problems and enables the student to broaden his or her understanding of the field.
An internship is more than a part-time job or volunteer experience; it includes:
- Specific learning objectives designed to increase the student鈥檚 knowledge
- Training to hone existing skills and develop additional ones
- Supervision to guide and mentor the intern
- Through their internship, the student is able both to expand their horizons and to engage in a meaningful collaboration with their corporate or community organization for their mutual benefit.
