Pre-Internship Policies and Procedures
Follow these steps to initiate the internship process.
- At the beginning of the semester before the student will intern, each student must have an internship meeting with the internship coordinator to decide on a potential internship site. It is required that the internship coordinator make the initial contact with a potential internship site prior to a student making official contact, and the internship coordinator will contact each site to determine its appropriateness prior to placement.
- Once the potential internship site(s) have been agreed upon, complete the PGA interest list form (PDF) and submit it to the internship coordinator.
- Once the agency, student, and coordinator have agreed upon an internship site, the agency designation form (PDF) must be completed and submitted to the PGA office by the student.
- Before a student can be placed at a golf facility, a joint agreement (PDF) must be completed. A joint agreement stipulates the specific internship work experiences anticipated for each student. The agreement must be signed by the host professional/supervisor and the UNLV PGA internship coordinator.
- Prior to the start of internship, students must meet with the internship coordinator during a group advising session. Each session will outline the assignments and requirements for the upcoming internship, including specific due dates for internship paperwork and meetings. In conjunction with the agency supervisor, the internship coordinator will communicate verbally and in written form (joint agreement) the work responsibilities of the student for his or her internship.
Note: Students who do not fully comply with and successfully complete all prescreening requirements for their potential internship facility will not be allowed to complete another internship during that semester. Students are allowed to make up one missed/failed internship; however, students are not allowed to intern more than 10 consecutive months at a given facility.
