For-credit interns are enrolled in the Dietetic Internship Program courses only (without additional MPH courses) and are registered for 6 credits per semester. Although the student is considered full-time by the Dietetic Internship Program, the student is considered part-time by the Registrar for calculation of tuition.

All interns must pay the designated tuition and fees in full by the time of registration. Without full payment students will not be considered fully enrolled in the Internship, and can not begin their placements.
