As a prospective internship site for communication majors at the University of North Florida, I
understand the organization’s responsibilities listed below:
Please initial:
______ I understand a copy of the supervisor’s(s’) resume/bio or LinkedIn Profile URL must be
attached to this form. (Must demonstrate supervisor’s(s’) expertise/credentials in the
professional area.)
______ I will attach a one-paragraph description of the organization along with a letter of intent
on my company letterhead with my original signature for each student intern position. This letter
will officially offer the internship to the student and must include a bulleted, detailed job description
of the intern duties.
______ I understand the email address Commstu1@unf.edu must be recognized as a
legitimate email and removed from our organization’s spam filters. This email is the official address
for all correspondence from the Department of Communication.
______ Prior to hiring interns for my organization, formal interviews will be conducted with prospective
communication interns, making the application process as similar to a job hire as possible.
______ I understand that all communication interns are only required to work 210 hours within my
organization and that these hours may be completed prior to the end of the semester.
______ I understand the company must have a designated office/place where the intern will work
unless exempted from this rule by the UNF internship coordinators.
______ I agree to provide the intern(s) with meaningful, professionally related tasks.
______ I agree to provide adequate supervision of interns and explanation of tasks.
______ I agree to meet at least weekly with my intern(s).
______ I agree to complete mid-term and final evaluations on all student interns, meet with the
interns to discuss these evaluations, and submit these forms to the Department of
Communication when required.
______ I understand that interns are required to create an ePortfolio and will ensure that any
communication interns within my program will be assigned professional work appropriate to be
displayed on their ePortfolio.
Please continue to the next page.

______ I understand that if an intern’s supervisor changes during the semester, my organization
will provide the Department of Communication with the new supervisor’s name, resume/bio, or
LinkedIn Profile URL and contact information.
______I understand that I will provide students with networking opportunities to meet
professionals in their field.
______ I understand according to the Fair Labor Standards Act by the U.S. Department of Labor, an
intern cannot be used in place of a permanent employee.
______ I understand that I will contact the UNF internship supervisors regarding issues involving the
intern or his/her relationship with the organization’s co-workers. (Including incidences of sexual
harassment and discrimination.)
______ I agree to assist the UNF Department of Communication when possible by having an
organization representative available for the department internship career fairs and in-class
presentations if requested.
______ I understand if there is more than one UNF communication intern at my company, an
internship coordinator may need to be selected to coordinate communication between my
organization and UNF.
______ I acknowledge that failure to comply with any of the above provisions may result in the
removal of the intern(s) from the site and the removal of the organization’s pre-approved status.
I understand the above requirements and request to be an official site for UNF’s Department of
Communication internship program. It is also our understanding that this agreement for
internship can be terminated at any time.
