Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice Studies
I understand that I am participating in an internship sponsored by the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice Studies and an off-campus organization or agency. I recognize that in the internship I am subject to the rules, regulations, and policies of Longwood University, as well as those that the field supervisor deems appropriate for the organization or agency.
I understand that I am not covered by the agency’s fringe benefits and that it is my responsibility to make arrangements for my own insurance, including accident, health, and hospitalization coverage. I will not hold the internship agency or organization or Longwood University, nor any of the personnel employed by these organizations liable for injury or death as a result of this internship.
I understand that in the internship I will be representing Longwood University and the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice Studies; and I will do nothing that would adversely affect the image of either unit. I agree that if any of my behavior is deemed improper (detrimental to the intern organization or Longwood University) I will withdraw from the internship and accept a failing grade. I further understand that my failure to abide by the policies and procedures of the internship program will result in termination of the internship with a grade of F.
I agree that I will:
a. always dress appropriately for the internship.
b. notify my field supervisor and faculty supervisor as soon as possible should I be unable to report to work for any reason.
c. avoid becoming involved in office politics and/or ideological disputes.
d. maintain the confidentiality of records and internal matters at all times.
e. obtain prior approval from my faculty and agency supervisors before circulating any written work outside of the internship organization or the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice Studies.
f. not be in possession of or use any firearms or other weapons during my internship unless permission is obtained from my faculty and agency supervisors.
I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT. THE NATURE, SCOPE, AND POLICIES OF THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED TO ME, AND I AGREE TO ABIDE BY THEM.
