International Forms Instructions
Procedure
Ideally, all paperwork will be completed and processed by the Experiential Learning & Internships office prior to the student leaving for the internship. Due to the cultural and linguistical differences in working with International Internship Providers, the process may be delayed. However, every internship that involves international travel must have the appropriate university clearances. The International Study Program will initiate the International Internship Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding with the Internship Provider as part of their international internship approval process. Students and internship coordinators may function as facilitators if asked y the ISP.
International Internship Memorandum of Understanding
The International Internship Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding is to be filled out by the Internship Provider and signed on page two by an "Administrator or Responsible Officer." In most cases, the department or ISP will initiate this process. When the Internship Provider returns the agreement, it should be forwarded to the Experiential Learning & Internships office for processing. The university requires one agreement per Internship Provider. To see which internship providers have already signed a domestic internship agreement or an international internship agreement, please check the Internship Agreement Database. The International Internship Memorandum of Understanding is available in French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Spanish.
Processing
Please email signed International Internship Agreement/Memorandum of Understanding to experience@byu.edu. The agreement will be executed, entered into the Internship Agreement database, and emailed to the internship provider. If departments would like to receive a copy of the executed agreement, please include the name of the academic unit offering the internship course.
