学生
Develop a schedule with 现场主管 to meet the required number of hours for the internship. For the fall 和 spring semesters, the minimum number of hours is 480. For the Summer semester, because of Penn State's academic schedule, the minimum number of hours is 415. If students must miss days at their internship site because of weather or sick days, they should consult with 现场主管 to make up the missed hours. 学生s who miss three or more days during the internship should notify the 实习协调员 in the event there is need to make up missed hours.
Treat the internship as a professional commitment. Although still a student, 现场主管, 和 other staff will perceive the student's role as similar to that of an employee. 像这样, demonstrating good work habits, being receptive to supervision, 和 following through on assigned work are key elements of this commitment.

- Ask for assistance 和 supervision when needed.
- 参加会议, 员工会议, 咨询会议, 和 other learning experiences assigned by 现场主管.
- Inform 现场主管 of work-related difficulties 和 challenges.
- Participate in weekly supervision (minimum 1 hour) with a qualified 现场主管.
