Academic Credit
Business students that have done internships may be eligible to receive academic credit through BUS 198I. This is a four-unit graded course which meets throughout the quarter. Attendance is mandatory for the course. View the current course time and location on the UCR Schedule of Classes website.
All of the following steps must be completed by the end of the first full week of the quarter. In addition, you must attend the first day of class, even if your paperwork is still in progress.
- Obtain a business‐related internship on your own. The Career Center is available to provide advice on obtaining internships.
- Visit the Career Center to pick up the 198I form after you have secured an internship.
- Have the form signed by your internship supervisor.
- Return to the Career Center to have your form signed.
- Make an appointment with the Assistant Dean of Business Administration in Olmsted Hall 2340 by calling 951‐827‐4551.
- The Assistant Dean will evaluate your internship, and if approved, will review the syllabus and sign your form.
- Take the form with all the signatures to the Registrar's Office to register for the course.
Note: The course usually meets 4-5 times a quarter. In order to get credit, you must attend the class. You must be employed as an intern the same quarter you are enrolled in this class, as the assignments are based on your internship experience.
