3. Any stipend provided by the Internship Site to the Intern shall not exceed the reasonable
approximation of expenses incurred by the Intern in connection with the Internship
(subject to applicable immigration law for foreign students).

4. The Intern will not in any way be considered an employee or agent of the Internship Site.

5. The Internship Site will cover the Intern with Workers’ Compensation Insurance and will
provide NYU with proof of such coverage by sending a copy of an appropriate insurance

Street, 4th floor, New York, NY 10003 prior to the start of the Internship (either by mail
or email at insurance.vendor.cert@nyu.edu).

damage, settlement, judgment, interest or penalty of any kind, including court costs and
attorneys’ fees resulting from, or arising in connection with, (i) any willful misconduct or

11. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create any agency, partnership, association or
joint venture between NYU Tandon CSE and the Internship Site.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Intern acknowledges and agrees as follows:

 1. Unless otherwise inconsistent with applicable law or with University policy, the Intern
will adhere to all applicable policies of the Internship Site and will complete all
assignments and projects as defined by the Internship Site. The Intern will not intern
more than 20 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters. The Intern may intern
for more than 20 hours per week during the summer semester, and in the Intern’s final

consult with NYU’s Office of Global Services or other authority for more information.)

5. The Intern will not in any way be considered an employee or agent of the Internship Site.

6. The Intern will adhere to all applicable guidelines of NYU Tandon CSE and shall
complete all assignments and projects as defined by the internship course instructor.

7. The Intern will receive academic credit from NYU Tandon CSE subject to the successful
completion of the registered internship course and associated Internship. NYU Tandon
CSE does not supervise or control the Intern at the Internship Site.

8. (I) A student internship is designed to be “a form of experiential learning that integrates

knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills
development in a professional setting” (National Association of Colleges and
Employers), (II) credit towards an NYU degree, however, is to be awarded for course
work rather than internship placements, and (III) although an internship placement may
be a co-requisite for a course, students are to receive credit for academic work assessed
by an instructor as part of a course, not for the professional development received
through their placement. For additional information, please refer to “Important
Considerations before Accepting a Job or Internship,” available from the NYU
Wasserman Center for Career Development.

9. As applicable, the Intern has complied with all immigration-related requirements under
the law in connection with this Internship and, if necessary, has completed and submitted
all required documentation to NYU’s Office of Global Services.

This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
New York without regard to any principles of conflict of laws. This Agreement contains the
entire agreement between the Intern and the Internship Site and terminates any and all previous
agreements between them, whether written or oral. This Agreement is subject to the exclusive
jurisdiction of the federal and state courts sitting in New York County and to the sufficiency of
service of process by certified or registered mail in connection with any dispute arising out of or
in connection with the Internship and this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed hereto
in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will together constitute
one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, authorized representatives have signed this Agreement as of
the day and year written below.
