ACADEMIC SUPPORT & STUDENT SERVICES
Internships
Internships facilitate learning beyond the classroom through supervised field experiences within specific academic disciplines or technical areas. These experiences enable students to explore potential careers and apply knowledge gained in the classroom while refining the technical skills and gaining relevant experience in the workplace.
Internship credit is available at Yavapai College on a limited basis, and only if a student is enrolled in a program that requires an internship for program completion.
Specific requirements must be met before students are approved for internships. See www.yc.edu/ internships for requirement information. Unless noted otherwise, internships are graded as S/U only.
SUN (Shared Unique Number) System
Arizona students planning a community college to university transfer now have an easier way to locate and enroll in courses with direct equivalency. The new Shared Unique Number (SUN) course numbering system clearly identifies courses that transfer, apples to apples, among Arizona’s public community colleges and the three state universities. The SUN System launched in January 2012 and includes 82 of the most commonly transferred courses statewide for its introductory year.
• SUN courses are identified by a three-letter prefix, four-digit course number, and a SUN icon. SUN courses are labeled in university and community college catalogs, schedules, and websites, making it easy and immediate for students to find transferable courses.
• SUN courses are a subset of the tens of thousands of college courses that transfer among Arizona’s colleges and universities. These courses and their equivalencies can be found in the searchable Course Equivalency Guide on AZTransfer.com.
Because each student has a unique academic plan, they are encouraged to consult with an academic advisor prior to enrollment. For more information about SUN, including a list of SUN courses, visit www.azsunsystem.com.
