Site Applications/Approvals for FY26 open February 2025
- UPIP internships are meant to be a learning experience for undergraduates. The internship should be specifically and intentionally beneficial to the educational goals of the student. Learning objectives will be required as part of the posting submission. Note: an internship should not displace a regular university employee or be predominantly clerical/administrative duties.
- UPIP interns must be enrolled full-time (12 credit hours or more), be sophomores – seniors in a first-time bachelor’s program, and in good standing with the university.
All UPIP positions must be submitted for approval and posted in the Hire-A-Niner system and be open to all eligible students.
Recruit, interview, and select a student by the last day of the semester. Applicant materials can be reviewed in your Hire-A-Niner account or you can set up the system to have them emailed directly to you. You can make the offer directly to the student. Inform UPIP of the selection. Once you're ready, submit your request for approval in the Experience Portal. This is a required step to allow the UPIP Team to provide final approval for the hire.
Once you have received final approval that your candidate is eligible for the UPIP Program, you will now utilize NinerWorks required by HR's Student Employment Office. Complete all required paperwork to include I-9 and the HR Hiring Packet. Information, along with proof of ID, should be taken to Human Resources in the King Building by appointment (Please have your student visit the HR website for the packet). Hiring department is required to complete the Student Temp Wage form and send directly to UPIP for final signature and processing.
You're done!
