The dietetic internship certificate program follows the University academic year, but not the University academic calendar. Interns who are on track and have satisfactorily completed the requirements of the program will not have supervised practice hours on the designated dates listed below:
Thanksgiving holiday: Nov. 21-25
Christmas and New Year's holiday's: Dec. 22-Jan. 2
Spring break: March 9-17
Schedules are subject to change year to year. Detailed rotation schedules are provided during orientation. Dietetic interns need to be flexible for internship hours can start early in the morning and go into the evening hours and vary from week to week. Take note that there will be some Saturdays where interns meet on University campus for class or have functions in the community to attend.
A mandatory one week orientation will be the week before University classes resume each fall. Supervised practice hours will begin the day that University fall classes begin. The internship will begin in August and conclude in May.
