Faculty advisor:

All students are required to find a faculty advisor and complete a Learning Agreement Form proposing the paper/project topic prior to starting the internship.

Administrative sanctions can range from disciplinary probation to suspension and dismissal from the university; those are not at the AIP's discretion. Academic sanctions can range from an NP on the assignment to an NP in the class.
