General Rules

Internship Process

1. The student arranges the internship with the institution.
2. The Compulsory Internship Approval Form (KYS-FR-84) must be signed and stamped by the institution.
   Internships will not be approved if the form is missing the signature or stamp.
3. The form must be submitted to the internship coordinator via MyTEDU Portal, at least 3 business days before the internship start date.
4. The student may start the internship after receiving approval from the internship coordinator.
5. On the first day of the internship, the student delivers the Intern Evaluation Form (KYS-FR-17) to the authorized person at the institution.
6. The completed Intern Evaluation Form must be delivered in a sealed envelope by the student to the Faculty Secretary or the instructor responsible for the internship course at the beginning of the semester.
   It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the form reaches the responsible instructor.
   For voluntary internships, students are not required to submit the evaluation form or an internship report.
7. After completing the internship, the student registers for the related internship course at the beginning of the semester.
