MANDATORY ORIENTATION BEFORE
BEGINNING INTERNSHIP SEMESTER
All students must attend an internship orientation (Pre-Internship Meeting) one semester before their internship semester. Students who have not done so or who attended an earlier orientation, will be dropped if already enrolled for internship. Students who have
current or prior sworn experience in corrections or law enforcement
should contact Dr. Clement, the department internship coordinator
for a possible waiver of actual internship hours.
Academic Prerequisites: The following courses must have been completed or you must be currently enrolled, to take an internship course or to enroll under the professional experience option: Crim. 2, 20, 102, 112. Students in their freshman or sophomore year will not be permitted to enroll for internship hours. Students should be in their senior year, with some exceptions for students in the second semester of their junior year. NOTE: Most law enforcement agencies accepting internship students require thorough background checks prior to be approved. Such checks can easily take one or more months to complete. It is important for students to begin the application process with their agency of choice as soon as possible, even before the semester in which they enroll for internship credit. If you intend to return to a home outside of the Central Valley at the end of your studies and wish to do your internship last in your home town/county, contact Dr. Clement at the beginning of the semester BEFORE the semester in which you intend to enroll for internship credit.  If
you have a criminal conviction, are currently pending a disposition or
trial in a criminal matter, or have other issues which may affect your
suitability for criminal justice employment (government or related employment
in the private sector) you must bring this to the attention of your internship
faculty member and Dr. Clement. If you are currently undergoing mental
health treatment, your internship opportunities may be limited. Your option
coordinators, however, may be able to assist you. Also review additional
requirements for corrections related internships.If you are seeking an internship organization/agency on your own, you must obtain final approval from the option internship coordinators or through the faculty member assigned to your internship course section.. Above faculty additionally will meet with students by appointment. Contact Dr. Clement, the new department internship coordinator for specifics regarding internships requirements and procedures. kclement@csufresno.edu |
