Application open dates:
Spring: Nov. 5 • Summer: March 5 • Fall: May 7
Your application should be submitted within the 1st week of classes for the corresponding semester (or within the 1st week of the start of your internship, if the internship begins after the 1st week of classes) to receive approval.
No applications will be accepted after the following dates:
Spring: Feb 1 • Summer: June 1• Fall: Oct 1
Some exceptions may apply, please contact iuwalter@iu.edu or your designated course internship coordinator with questions.
How to submit an application
- Go to app.joinhandshake.com/stu/experiences, choose Indiana University-Bloomington if prompted, and log in with your IU email and passphrase.
- Click the blue Request an Experience button.
- On the following page, use Experience Type to choose the relevant course. Use Term to select your chosen semester.
- Complete all of the remaining fields.

Please Note: You will be able to opt-in to an auto-enroll option when completing your application.
