Intercollegiate Athletics and Student Academic Responsibilities HCC offers 14 intercollegiate sports for its students including men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s baseball, women’s softball, men’s golf, and women’s volleyball. The athletic director in cooperation with the Dean of Students formulates the guidelines that apply to HCC intercollegiate sports. The athletic director enforces academic eligibility rules for participation in intercollegiate athletics. Internships The internship course serves as a capstone whereby students may apply the knowledge and skills they have learned in the classroom. Internships provide excellent opportunities for students to gain career-related experiences and workplace competencies in their chosen career field, as well as to obtain skills that are valued by employers when hiring new staff. The internship application, program guide, and faculty recommendation form are available on the HCC website at www.hagerstowncc.edu/internships. Internship Application Priority Due Dates: • Fall 2023 semester: July 31 • Spring 2024 semester: October 1 • Summer 2024 semester: February 1 Note: Fall 2024 semester priority due date is May 1. Minimum eligibility requirements for participation in an internship include: • Submission of an application for internship by the publicized institutional priority due date; • Acceptable recommendation by faculty in a related field of study; • Minimum overall GPA of 2.5; • Completion of at least 50% of the discipline-specific program requirements in a student’s field of study, at least two of which courses are completed at HCC; • Final course grades of A, B, or C in a student’s specialty program courses; and • Acceptable review of the student’s HCC conduct record by the chief student affairs officer (behavioral violations) and the chief academic affairs officer (academic integrity violations). The Internship and Job Services office and faculty work collaboratively to facilitate the coordination of credit internships through the established internship procedures. In the event a suitable internship cannot be found, an alternative pathway for program completion, that meets the approval of the program director and the chief academic affairs officer, will be developed by appropriate program faculty. Internship sites must be within an acceptable distance from the college to enable site supervision by faculty and staff. Exceptions to internship requirements, that meet the approval of program faculty, the program director, and the office coordinating student internships, may be made jointly by the chief academic affairs officer and the chief student affairs officer.
