IPL Application Approval

Students completing an academic internship or project must complete a course application in the EngageU portal.

Once a student completes an application, a few approvals will be needed before an application is fully approved. Below are the approval workflow:

  • OEL Pre-Approval
  • Site Supervisor Approval
  • UIS Faculty Supervisor Approval
  • OEL Final Approval
