Learning Agreement
As an applicant for the IE3 Global Internship program, I understand that my selection and participation are based upon the merits of my application and that the information I have provided about myself during the application process and in the selection interviews is accurate and truthful.
I also understand that my participation in IE3 Global Internships/OUS International Programs is contingent upon the following conditions:
For Winter 2013 applicants and later: if I am approved for participation in the IE3 Global Internship program, I will be asked to pay the $250 IE3 program deposit before my file can be sent to an internship site for placement. My $250 IE3 program deposit is non-refundable, in all circumstances, except if I am denied placement. For Summer 2012 and Fall 2012 applicants you do not need to submit an additional IE3 program deposit, you paid this when you initiated your IE3 application See term specific refund information below.
I agree to submit all pre-departure paperwork in a timely and professional manner. My acceptance to the program is, in part, determined by the timeliness of the required documents. Furthermore, if the host country to which I am going has visa requirements, I understand that it is my responsibility to be informed about those requirements and to comply with the instructions given to me for the visa process.
I understand that my program application along with supporting documentation will be released to the internship host organization and that my acceptance into the program is subject to their approval.
For all OUS and affiliate institution students: I understand that the pre-departure orientation for my program is mandatory and that I will make arrangements to attend that orientation. I understand that missing the pre-departure orientation is grounds for dismissal from the program.
I agree to fully participate in the internship to the best of my abilities. Full participation means that I will remain enrolled at my home campus throughout the internship period and I agree to fulfill the requirements of the internship to the satisfaction of the internship host organization and the IE3 Global Internships Program.
I agree to discuss with my on site supervisor and IE3 Regional Director any vacation ideas in advance of making those plans. I understand that extended personal trips are to be taken outside of my established internship dates.
I agree to represent my home campus and IE3 Global Internships in a civil and socially mature manner. I understand that my behavior reflects on the entire program and those standards of behavior that might be acceptable on my home campus may not be acceptable in a different cultural setting.
I agree to the following IE3 Program Fee refund terms and conditions: IE3 Refund Terms and Conditions for Summer 2012 & Fall 2012 Applicants
