About Internships for Students:

• Most RRCC internships are for credit, from 1 to 6 credits, and subject to current tuition rates.
• Students enrolled in an internship work a minimum of 45 hours for every 1 credit earned.
• Typical internships are for 3 credits (135 work hours).
• For-credit internships yield a letter grade.
• Internships can be paid or unpaid.
• Students in unpaid internships can apply for an Internship Grant.
• Current RRCC students who find paid internships are not required to register for internship credit.
• For a paid, non-credit internship, a student sets up the internship with the RRCC Internship Office and will receive a certificate of completion, verifying the professional nature of the internship.

Qualifications:

• All internships are reserved for currently enrolled Red Rocks Community College students.
  We also welcome interested RRCC alumni to apply for credit bearing internships.
• For-credit internships require a fundamental knowledge in a RRCC field of study, usually
  one or two semesters of successfully completed RRCC course work.
• A cumulative GPA of at least a 2.0 is required.
• The student will provide a signed Instructor Recommendation form, verifying that the student
  has the professionalism to represent RRCC in the workplace, and the skills to do the job.
• An internship site is needed. Finding an appropriate site will be discussed during the initial
  internship appointment.
