Important: both the student portion and the employer portion must be completed by the deadline!

FYI: The ABLE application portal typically opens when program planning begins (i.e., October for Spring, March for Summer, and June for Fall semester.

After your section of the application is completed, an email will be sent to your site supervisor requesting they complete their portion. A check mark indicates successful completion.

NOTE: a delay on their part will hinder their process.

The following steps must be completed by the employer/host (as part of the student’s online application):

• Complete Organization Information Form
• Complete Job Description Form
• Sign Student Learning Goals and Objectives
• Sign ABLE Internship Credit Agreement

Once the employer's portion has been completed, the ABLE office will conduct a preliminary review. Then, the Department chair(s) (or a representative) will formally review the online application and either approve, deny, or place it in a "reviewed" status. Reviewed means the application has been reviewed by the department chair, but there are some issues or concerns. Notes may be added, so students are encouraged to check back often until the internship is either approved or denied.

If approved, the ABLE Office staff will process your application and then generate an email from ABLE to you with the information [i.e., permission number] needed to register for the three-credit 490/491/497 course (which accompanies all internships for credit). You must register yourself for the 490/491/497 course once you've received a permission number. Classes are generally delivered online with only a few face-to-face meetings.

NOTE: Details of the first class meeting, as well as information about the mandatory online ABLE On-boarding Module, will also be in the email from ABLE.

Please allow 7-10 business days for your application to be reviewed, approved, and processed. You may experience additional delays during peak times [i.e. close to the deadline]!

Check your SU email account daily, even during breaks!
