1. As our office receives openings for internships, they will be shared with all students at the same time. Timing is of paramount importance. Typically if someone asks for an intern, they’re looking for the intern to start as quickly as that same week or the following week.  It is important to stay on top of your email because that’s where you will hear about internships, site visits, full-time jobs and other unique opportunities.

2. Get your resume to Allison ASAP. ASAP typically means the same day or within 24 hours of the email being sent. If Allison asks for a cover letter, please provide a brief one.

3. Please monitor your emails as the firm will follow up with you directly if they would like to schedule an interview. Typically the first interview is a phone conversation or through zoom. You must dress professionally. Have your resume ready to send them by email if they ask for it.

4. Please research the principals of the firm, the firm itself and the names of anyone that you will be meeting with. Use LinkedIn, company websites and Google. Know the sector that they operate in and any recent projects that they may be working on.

5. Be prepared to ask questions and you will typically be asked in some form or fashion « what are your strengths, what are your weaknesses and why this firm or this opportumity ». If the answer to the question can be found on the website, don’t ask it.

6. Follow up within the same business day with a thank you email to the person that you interviewed with and ask what you can do to move forward in the process.

7. If you get the internship, accept or decline in writing within a reasonable timeframe (typically a maximum of 72 hours). Notify Allison immediately in writing.

8. If you are a non-US student, you must follow the guidelines for CPT (Curricular Practical Training). Please reach out to Nicole Hejazi and and copy Natalie and Allison. Ask Nicole for directions on how to start the CPT process. You may not start working until all of your documentation is done. Working before the paperwork is done or working after your end date is illegal in the US.

9. First day and all days: Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. Arriving on time means you’re late. Use the accounting principle FILO - First in, last out. Figure out the parking situation in advance.

10. Be professional. First impressions are everything. Avoid slang (yo, dude, I’m gonna) and cursing; texting or web surfing while working; sharing intimate personal details, political opinions, or religious views.

11. If you finish a project or task, ask what else you can work on!

12. Be courteous to all employees and be humble. You are the low person on the totem pole. It won’t kill you to make copies, file some papers or perform some other menial tasks. If that situation persists, let Allison know.

13. As your internship winds down, contact the person who made you the offer and let them know how much you appreciate the opportunity and ask what paperwork needs to be completed prior to departure. If you’re hoping the opportunity will turn into full-time or part-time, find out the best person to speak to and make sure they know of your interest. Complete any tasks that you have been assigned and make sure that someone knows what you’ve been working on and if there are steps that need to be transitioned to the next person.

14. Contact Alison and let her know your internship is ending. If you are a non-US citizen, contact Nicole Hejazi to see what you need to do to close out the internship.

15. Add the internship to your resume so your resume is ready to go the next time you’re looking for internship or full-time employment.

The Office of Classroom Management recently launched an online calendar tool so that students can find vacant classrooms and other on-campus locations available for use as shared study spots or to access their remote classes.

Review the ISSS and Toppel websites in detail. Please let us know if you find anything different from this to help ease the process for future students.

Complete these steps for your required internship. Once that required internship is done, any additional CPT goes through TOPPEL.

Application and Authorization Procedures for Curricular Practical Training

Step 1

Obtain an offer for off-campus employment or practical training for a position that is directly related to your field of study.

Step 2

Request a completed Curricular Practical Training (CPT) Agreement form from your employer.

Step 3

Submit signed Curricular Practical Training (CPT) Agreement and offer letter to Nicole Hejazi.

Step 4

Complete the mandatory Curricular Practical Training (CPT) online module at www.miami.edu/cpt.

Step 5

Determine how you will satisfy curricular requirements for CPT authorization. Review the two options below carefully to ensure you complete the appropriate CPT Authorization Request form.

• If your academic program requires an internship (and is outlined in the UM academic bulletin), or if you will earn credit toward degree requirements, follow instructions below for Required/For Academic Credit Internship Instructions. (Page 3)
• If your academic program does NOT require an internship or if you will NOT earn credit toward your degree for the experience, you may enroll in a UM Internship credit by participating in the Toppel Internship Program (TIP). Follow Optional – UM Internship Credit through Toppel Internship Program instructions. (Page 2)

 Optional – UM Internship Credit through Toppel Internship Program instructions

1. Sign up for the Toppel Internship Program (TIP). Complete the Learning Contract so that Toppel can enroll you in the appropriate UM Internship (UMI) course, if eligible. Please remember that if your internship will be over the course of multiple semesters, you must submit a new learning contract and obtain CPT Authorization for each semester, Summer or Winter session.
2. Submit your request for CPT authorization from ISSS: Click on CPT Authorization Request - UM Internship Credit (Toppel Internship Program), carefully review and complete Sections A through E, and submit the request so it gets routed to the Toppel Career Center and your academic advisor.
3. The Toppel Career Center will review your CPT Authorization Request and will confirm receipt of the Learning Contract and enrollment in the UM Internship (UMI) Course.
4. Your academic advisor will receive a notification e-mail and will be asked to complete their section of the e-form and to submit it.
5. Now that all signers have completed their sections, your ISSS advisor will review the request and, if eligible, authorize you to engage in CPT and e-mail you an updated Form I-20 within 5 business days. The CPT authorization is noted on page 2 of the I-20.

Note: You will receive automated updates about the status of your e-form. Please follow up with any of the signers, if necessary. Keep in mind that you may not begin employment before you have

Required/For academic credit Internship Instructions

1. Determine if your practical training is (a) a requirement for your degree program, or (b) for academic credit.
   1. Review specifics of your program requirements in the UM Academic Bulletin. Enroll in an internship or practicum course if course enrollment is the requirement, and review the UM Academic Calendar, as the term of enrollment will indicate the maximum duration of your CPT Authorization, unless stated otherwise.
   2. Enroll in the internship or practicum course and review the UM Academic Calendar, as the term of enrollment will indicate the maximum duration of your CPT Authorization, unless stated otherwise in the UM Academic Bulletin.
2. Submit your request for CPT authorization from ISSS: Click on CPT Request – Program Requirement or Academic Credit, carefully review and complete Sections A through E, and submit the request so it gets routed to the additional signers.
3. The academic department representative overseeing curricular objectives (Nicole Hejazi) and then your academic advisor will receive a notification e-mail and will each be asked to complete their sections of the e-form and to submit it. They will be required to upload the Curricular Practical Training (CPT) Agreement form completed by your employer.
4. Now that all signers have completed their sections, your ISSS advisor will review the request and, if eligible, authorize you to engage in CPT and e-mail you an updated Form I-20 within 5 business days. The CPT authorization is noted on page 2 of the I-20.

Note: You will receive automated updates about the status of your e-form. Please follow up with any of the signers, if necessary. Keep in mind that you may not begin employment before you have received your new Form I-20 and until the CPT start date, and you must end employment on the date noted.

Visit Parking website for more information.

All vehicles parked on campus are required to have a valid UM parking permit and must park head-in only. Parking permits are issued with an assignment to a specific color zone. Park in your assigned color zone where the lots and/or garage entrance sign includes the color matching your parking permit. The School of Architecture is adjacent to the Yellow Parking Zone, however, please note that some of your courses will be taking place in alternate locations on campus so the Yellow Zone may not be the most efficient location.

Discounted Night & Weekend Permits are available after 4pm and on weekends. The University offers Coral Gables Campus visitors the ability to purchase parking via PayByPhone app or pay machines. Access is restricted to certain lots during the weekday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The rates are $2.50 per hour or $11 per day. You can decide whether an annual permit or the pay-as-you-go option is best for your needs. For example, a regular annual permit costs $553 for 12 months, equaling $46.08 per month. A day pass using Pay-by-Phone costs $10. Therefore, coming to campus one day a week would entail 4 or 5 visits per month, equaling $40 (5 x $8). If there is a likelihood of coming to campus just another one or two times per month, the annual permit would be the better option. However, if a person was only coming to campus for an hour or two at a time, the financial advantage of Pay-by-Phone may be more significant.

The MRED+U Program encourages students to participate in conferences and events for educational and professional opportunities. The MRED+U Program and Advisory Board will sponsor select students to attend conferences and events throughout the academic year.

Prior to Booking Travel:

• Discuss and get approval for potential absences with professors.
• Complete the MRED+U Travel Scholarship Application (for a request other than ULI Fall Meeting) OR the ULI Fall Meeting Form (you do not need to complete both)
• Review the Travel Scholarship Policy below.

Prior to departure:

• Submit travel itinerary and Field Trip Release Form to mredu@miami.edu at least two weeks prior to departure.

Packing list:

• Business Cards
• Professional and Business Casual Attire 
• MRED+U Shirt

After the conference:

• Follow-up with people you met at the conference.
• Submit one paragraph describing your experience. This may be used on the MRED+U website, social media and/or provided to the board to thank them for their support.
• If you received the MRED+U Travel Scholarship, refer Travel Scholarship Policy below and submit the Expense Reimbursement Form along with required documentation (compiled into one PDF). 

TRAVEL SCHOLARSHIP POLICY

The purpose of this Travel Scholarship Policy is to outline a set of procedures and guidelines for scholarship recipients as notified by the MRED+U office encompassing all academic-related travel in order to maximize control over travel costs.

Topics covered by this policy include procedures and guidelines for requesting authorization for travel information on booking, and obtaining reimbursement.

Air or Rail Expenses

• The MRED+U program will pay for air or rail fares to the approved destination.
• Reimbursement limits to be determined based on location and included in the Award Letter.
• All participants should book their own travel and save original receipts for reimbursement.
• We can only accommodate coach class fares (AMTRAK Acela fares are allowed). If a participant wishes to travel in a higher class of service, MRED+U can only reimburse the cost of the  equivalent coach fare.
• Airline flights purchased with frequent flyer miles, are non-reimbursable.
• If a participant needs to travel to or from different destinations rather than round-trip, or dates different than determined in the Scholarship Award Letter, we will only reimburse the lesser of the cost or the equivalent round-trip fare. In this case, please provide a screenshot of what the flight would have cost had you booked for the pre-determined days and locations. Discuss with MRED+U Office prior to booking if you any questions about this.
• Airfare receipts must include the full itinerary (airline, flight dates, times, etc.) AND the price paid (proof of payment).

Ground Transportation

• MRED+U will reimburse ground transportation to and from the airport, as well as any taxi or public transportation expenses incurred traveling to and from the meeting and associated events.
• Please save your receipts for any taxis or public transit. Credit card statements will not be accepted.

Hotel Accommodations

• All hotel arrangements are to be organized by the student.
• Students are expected to share a room, please coordinate and plan accordingly. You may split the cost in advance, or reimburse one person for the entire fee, but this can get confusing so please take note of the limits and split it appropriately.
• If you stay additional nights, you will only be reimbursed for the nights determined in the Scholarship Acceptance Letter.
• Hotel receipts must include all hotel charges and proof of payment.

Meals

• No meal expenses are incurred or reimbursed by the MRED+U Program.

Reimbursement Procedures & Accounting Requirements

• The Scholarship Acceptance Letter will detail the maximum amount to be reimbursed at the end of the trip.
• You will only be reimbursed for actual expenses (if you don’t reach the maximum amount, you will not be given the difference).
• Please send your flight and hotel details to the MRED+U email (mredu@umiami.edu) upon reservation.
• Please submit all reimbursement requests within 30 days after the event.
• All requests should be accompanied by original receipts for all items.
• University of Miami’s Accounting Department may request additional information on expenses that lack proper documentation.
• UM/MREDU cannot pay for entertainment, recreational fees or spa services, clothing, special equipment, or other items not listed.
• Reimbursements will be paid according to the account information in CaneLink -- either Direct Deposit or mailed to the address listed.
• Payments will be processed up to 6 weeks after submitting the forms.

How to Submit Expenses:

1. Compile the following documents into one PDF:
   1. Completed and signed Expense Reimbursement Form
   2. Itemized hotel receipt. Hotel receipt must include all charges, and zero balance or proof of payment.
   3. Airfare receipt and itinerary. Airfare receipt must include itinerary, amount paid and proof of payment. Refer Travel Policy regarding flights on dates or destinations outside of the pre-approved. 
   4. Label receipts if necessary (i.e. “Taxi from Airport to Hotel”; “Screenshot of flight price for approved days”).
2. Email completed, signed, compiled documents to mredu@miami.edu. Please include your name in the document name.

Important Note: If you have received a funding from any other source to subsidize this trip, you are not eligible for this scholarship. We have a set Travel Scholarship budget for the Academic Year. Using funds inappropriately will lead to diminished funds for future travel opportunities.

The MRED+U Program highly encourages you to turn on caption capabilities in Zoom, PowerPoint and when available in other presentations. It is important to do this in advance of scheduling a meeting to ensure it is enabled.

• Students graduating in May - No need to schedule advising unless you have questions.
• Students graduating in June - No need to schedule advising unless you have questions. I will reach out to some of you who have a special case for summer. Everyone else should be registering for RED690 and RED699 (3 credits each unless we have discussed something different).
• Students continuing to the Fall - A hold will be placed on your CaneLink account and will be removed after your advising appointment. Please schedule advising so we can discuss. While there is not a registration deadline per se, it is important to register soon to hold your spot in a class.
• Dual degree students - Usually you do advising with Nicole, but I'm happy to meet with you if you have any questions or just want a quick chat.

TRAVEL PROTOCOLS

• We will register students for the conference. To confirm your attendance, please fill out this form by September 12 and we will register you for the event. If you are not able to attend, please let us know.
• Given the increase in travel costs, we recommend that you book your travel to the ULI FALL MEETING sooner than later. Remember that hotel and car rentals can be booked and canceled relatively easily. The University recommends using the UM Travel Portal for discounted rates and perks. Car rental rates through the portal are lower than the posted rates on most sites. Southwest Airlines offers perks when booking through the portal.
• You may book travel through the UM Travel Portal. More information.
• Students are expected to arrive on the morning Sunday, October 29 and we will gather as a group in the afternoon. ULI Fall meeting ends November 2 at 5:00PM. Please see tentative schedule on the ULI website.
• The conference is at the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas. As you do the research on hotels, it would be helpful to share with the WhatsApp group so that students can book in the same hotel/area. As you book your flights, it would be helpful to share so that students can share car rentals. 
• As soon as your travel arrangements are booked, please send us a copy of your itinerary.

Please note that failure to attend or cancellation after registration might result in potential exclusion from upcoming MRED+U events.
