The Internship Process - It is Quite Simple
- Meet all minimum requirements for CJ 490 and CJ 491.
- Find an Internship Location.
- The SCCJLS does not “place” interns. It is the responsibility of students to locate an internship site that meets their professional and personal needs. Students are encouraged to consider the internship process as a job search. The SCCJLS does maintain a list of some agencies that are interested in hosting student interns and the SCCJLS internship coordinator may be able to assist. Also, the Career Services Department located at 101B DeVos Center ( https://www.gvsu.edu/careers) has a wealth of information regarding employment and possible internships and regularly updates various available opportunities in “Handshake”.
- Once a location is found, the student is responsible for contacting the agency and scheduling an interview. The SCCJSL internship coordinator is available for assistance and information to the site as needed.
- Once approved by the Internship Site, communicate with the SCCJLS internship coordinator and enroll in Banner for both CJ 490 and CJ 491.
- These courses require a permit. Submit an override request on-line through Banner to enroll in the courses. Once the override form is approved, complete the Banner registration.

- Go to: https://www.gvsu.edu/careers/ims-login.htm. This form can also be accessed through the SCCJLS Homepage by clicking on the Student Resources Tab (http://www.gvsu.edu/cj/internships-48.htm);
- Then select/click: Instructions Online Internship Application.
- Next, complete your part of this application and submit it.
