Please check the boxes to confirm that you understand the externship program guidelines.

I have read and understand the Program Requirements. I understand and agree that, if I accept an externship, I am making a commitment to the externship placement and that I am obligated to follow through until the conclusion of the summer / semester. I also understand that I will not be permitted to withdraw from the externship absent extraordinary circumstances and the approval of the Academic Dean as well as the faculty advisor for the externship. If I choose to accept, I am committing that I will not transfer to another school, attend a different school as a visiting student, or study abroad during the summer / semester of the externship. I understand that I may not participate in an externship and a clinic in the same semester and that, if I accept a place in a clinic, I am required to withdraw my externship application immediately and notify the Director of Experiential Learning. (Summer Externs Only) I understand and agree that in order to receive academic credit, I must not receive payment of any kind, including work-study, for my externship.
