CPT Application Steps

To qualify for CPT, you must have a job offer from an internship provider. The internship site should provide a letter written on company letterhead that provides the following information:

• Name of the company or internship site

• Address where your training will take place (internship site address)

• Supervisor name and contact information

• Detailed description of internship or job duties

• Start and end dates of your internship

• Expected hours per week

• Salary information, if paid

• A statement from the employer declaring their support and cooperation to fulfill the curricular purposes of the employment/training

Once you have an internship offer, it must be reviewed by an academic advisor or faculty member in your department. 

The academic advisor must determine if the training provides an appropriate learning experience in your major. If your department approves of the experience, they will assist you in registering for internship credit. If you are engaging in experiential learning and will not obtain credit, you still need approval from your advisor. 

You NEED to register for your experience through Handshake. Please contact CPDC if you are unsure how to do this. cpdc@nichols.edu or stop by the office on the 2nd floor of FELS.
