There's a lot to do before you begin your internship in the winter. Please pay careful attention to the requirements listed below, as they will impact your ability to participate in the WISP internship program.
Before the end of fall term, you will be prompted to complete the following:
The first week of the WISP internship should be dedicated to trainings and orientation. Because interns may submit a maximum of 10 hours per week on their timesheets, they should allocate their hours as follows:
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: remember that you may not begin your internship until you have completed the I-9 employment verification process.
Any work done in relation to your project or assigned by your faculty mentor is considered a work hour, including:
Please keep in mind that you may only work 6-10 hours to week for your internship; if you are in danger of working more than this, please touch base with your mentor.
It's also important to remember that you cannot be paid for work done before the start of winter term, during spring break, or after the final day of spring classes. Again, if you have been assigned work during these times, please discuss with your mentor how to complete them within the term.
WISP interns are paid an hourly wage of $16.25 per hour for 6-10 hours per week (maximum 100 hours per term). Interns are paid biweekly and paychecks are distributed the Friday after the pay period end date.
Interns must record hours in the TimesheetX timesheet system every day they work. It's a good practice to submit your hours immediately after finishing a shift.
Time reporting should be the exact time the employee began and ended working and is a legal record of the employee's time. All time is required to be reported by 11:59PM on Saturday at the end of the pay period.
Some short training modules for submitting your timesheet and making corrections can be found here.
After completing your internship, consider applying for funding to continue your research through WISP Sophomore Scholarships, Undergraduate Research Assistantships at Dartmouth (URAD), or these other research opportunities.
