Internship Reports: STUDENT/FACULTY Instructions
Huxley College of the Environment now requires that all Internship Reports be submitted in a digital (.pdf) format. Completed reports are available online (accessible to Western students, faculty and staff only). Students are required to create a digital signature page to be included in the .pdf file, as outlined below.
Internship credits are assigned a 498b course number for registration, which require an override code from the faculty. The Internship Report should be similar to a Thesis in style and format, however it can be less formal.
