I submitted a request to enroll in a business internship course, but haven’t heard back. How can I check on the status of my application?

All our communications will be sent to you from internships@business.fsu.edu. First, search this email address within your inbox and ensure you haven’t missed any emails from us.

Then, touch base with your employer to ensure they have received and completed the employment verification. A missing employment verification is the most common reason for delays in processing.

If an employment verification has been submitted to our office, you should receive an email from us within ten (10) business days. If outside this timeframe, please touch base with us at internships@business.fsu.edu.

I completed an internship in the past. Can I enroll in a business internship course for this previous work experience?

Unfortunately, no. Course assignments require you to actively participate with your employer while the internship is taking place in order to complete the assignments. Additionally, the course serves as a form of mentorship for your internship experience.

I own my own business. Can this experience be used for a business internship course?

While we applaud and value your hard work, we unfortunately cannot use this for enrollment in a business internship course. There are course evaluations throughout the semester, and you cannot certify the evaluations or your work hours for yourself.
