If a student pursues an internship program NOT affiliated with OSU, they are still required to enroll in supplemental insurance and have their travel approved by risk management through OIA. In addition, their internship program has to be pre-approved by their department (if they expect to earn college credit) or from the CLLC if they are not earning college credit. The internships MUST be in the target language.
