<p>Does anyone know how taking time off from classes to do a full-time semester internship affects the automatic scholarships. Can you skip a semester of school your junior or senior year and still get eight semesters of the automatic scholarship?</p>
<p>Renewal criteria:</p>
<p>A student must be enrolled full-time (12 or more credit hours) as a degree-seeking student on the Bloomington campus. Waitlisted courses do not count toward official enrollment.</p>
<p>Can a full-time internship get 12 credit hours?</p>
<p>I know they would not give you the award for the semester you take the internship. I wonder if you could defer the award for one semester and resume it and get eight semesters total. </p>
<p>I think the most you can get out of an internship is about six credits through the school, if it is abroad. I am thinking more my son doing a spring accounting internship.</p>
<p>That would be something to take up with Advisers. I know that some scholarships can be waived even years at a time so it is possible. Also looking up scholarships for internships so they can replace any you may not have is also a very good idea.</p>
<p>Spring accounting internships look great on a resume. Employers know that is the busiest time of the year.</p>
<p>Maxellis, my son is a jr in Icore now. He has an excellent gpa but has only taken A201 and A202. Would it be better for him to try for a spring semester accounting internship next semester or wait until he has more accounting classes and do the internship the following spring. He has been preferenced for a spring full-time internship interview but would he even be attractive to anyone this spring with only those classes? I kind of want him to try for a summer internship just about anywhere he can get one in Indianapolis since he is on pace to get the 150 credits without taking any more summer classes, and then try for a Spring 2012 full time internship and put off graduation until December 2012. He is really on a roll academically and I hate to see him take a whole semester off at this point, but he is anxious to get a public accounting internship on his resume as soon as possible.</p>
