INTERNSHIP CREDIT: OIP 1000 and 1001
OIP 1000 and 1001 are non-degree, 1 credit courses that are taken by Olin full-time students on an F-1 Visa that are participating in an internship in the United States. Domestic students participating in an unpaid internship or research experience may also register for OIP 1000 or 1001.
Students participating in a summer internship, must register and complete OIP 1000 in the fall semester immediately following their internship. Students participating in an internship during the academic year will register and complete OIP 1001 during the semester in which they are interning.
The student form and the supervisor form below must be completed in order to receiving a passing grade for this class and to stay in compliance with your F-1 Visa
