In order to successfully complete the internship, the following policies and procedures must be followed.
- Students who are terminated before the required end date will receive a failing grade. Students will not be allowed to complete another internship during that semester.
- Students who leave an internship due to serious illness, death in the family, university-excused absence, or condition out of the student's control can receive a grade for their internship. The internship grade will be determined based on completed internship assignments. The student will have to make up the remaining missed weeks of their internship before graduation.
- Students who are terminated from internship are required to contact the internship coordinator or PGA director within 48 hours of termination. Students who do not comply will automatically receive a failing grade.
- Students are required to complete a series of internship and PGA work assignments with specific due dates throughout their internship experience.
- All required internship assignments must have two signatures on them before being submitted: the host professional/supervisor's and the student's.
- The internship coordinator will monitor the student through periodic phone calls and e-mails to the host professional/supervisor during the internship.
- It is required that students attempt at least one Playing Ability Test (PAT) during their internship. If a PAT is not attempted during internship, students will be lowered one letter grade.
- UNLV requires that each host professional/supervisor complete a detailed mid-term evaluation of each student's performance during the internship.
