Hi! Many of the summer internships I have applied to are during the summer exam period (june). Since I am planning on taking summer courses and would like to intern (if i get an offer lol) is there any way i could reschedule my exams if there’s a scheduling conflict? would i be allowed to take my exams earlier than the scheduled dates? I’m assuming employers wouldn’t like an intern taking a day off during a short 10-week internship period. thanks!<\/p>\n

hi!<\/p>\n

to the best of my knowledge, you can’t write an exam BEFORE the date, you can only defer an exam to a later date.<\/p>\n

to defer an exam, you will need to file a petition<\/a>.\u00a0 you will need to make an appointment with your registrar’s office<\/a>, where they can walk you through the petition process as well as help you with any aspect of\u00a0 your petition that you may be unsure about. they can also give you information on any other options you may have– just in case the advice i’ve given you isn’t the greatest.<\/p>\n

this is still super in advance, though. and while i commend you for thinking ahead, there isn’t much that you can do right now except for wait. once you know when your internship will be and when your exam(s) in june will be, then you can start looking into deferring your exam.<\/p>\n

i hope this helps! good luck with everything!<\/p>\n
