Dropping AIP

Students participating in the Academic Internship Program make a commitment not only to AIP, but also to the organizations that agree to host them as interns.  Because of the impact on all parties involved, students are highly discouraged from dropping AIP 197 once they have begun their internships.  If you are experiencing difficulty at your internship or unforeseen circumstances make it necessary for you to drop AIP 197, please contact your AIP counselor to discuss your situation.
