students to demonstrate their efforts to fulfill the internship requirement through approved means and explain why these options were not possible, in order to be considered for an exemption due to personal hardship.

Exemption from satisfying the University’s internship requirement through the approved means due to a personal hardship requires students to demonstrate how they have exhausted all other options in order to complete an internship. Please provide a detailed account of your efforts to satisfy the internship requirement through the approved means, including what options you explored with the Westcliff University Career Services Department and why these options were ultimately not possible for you. Include in your Hardship Exemption application any relevant documents that may verify the extenuating circumstances that prevented you from being able to satisfy the internship requirement through the approved means.
