INFO 496

Students who are completing a service learning project with or without pay are eligible to earn credits if they complete additional academic deliverables with an iSchool faculty member. International students must register for credits in order to be eligible for CPT (Curricular Practical Training).

Experiential Learning Proposal Form for INFO 496:

The completed proposal for service learning in Informatics is due at the start of the quarter in which you plan to enroll in INFO 496. Late proposals will be accepted on a case-by-case basis and should not be expected to be completed in a timely fashion. Late proposals are subject to additional registration fees. 

  • Submit your proposal by completing an Experiential Learning Proposal Form above. For directions and additional information, go to Experiential Learning for Credit page on the Informatics Resource Site (Canvas).

To receive credit for an internship in an upcoming quarter, please follow these guidelines:

  • A service learning may be 1-5 credits per quarter. One (1) credit equates to approximately 3-4 hours a week of work.
  • Service learning grading is credit/no credit only. In total, students can take and apply a maximum of 12 credits of INFO 496 toward their Informatics degree.
  • You will be working with both your site supervisor at your service learning and a faculty sponsor. Your faculty sponsor will oversee and evaluate your learning and performance objectives. The faculty sponsor is responsible for issuing you credit/no credit grading in INFO 496.

Important dates:

Any submission past the deadline will be accepted on a case-by-case and should not be expected to be completed quickly. Additional registration fees may apply. 

  • Summer 2025: due by June 23
  • Autumn 2025: due by September 24
