Internship Transcript Notation

Overview

Students who are participating in an internship may be eligible for an Internship Transcript Notation. The CDO has been authorized by the faculty to assess internship options and, when warranted, approve internships to be notated as equivalent to one-half-course credit by those colleges that award credit for such work, on the student’s college academic record.  

• An Internship Transcript Notation allows you to officially document non-credit internships experiences on your transcript 
• An Internship Transcript Notation is noted as a one-half-course credit; the one-half-course credit does not count toward the total units required for graduation 
• Pomona college does not award graduation credit for stand-alone (non-course-based) internships therefore the credit received through a Transcript Notation is not calculated into the student’s earned units at Pomona College.
