Internship Agreements

Internships offer students  the unique opportunity to gain meaningful, practical, and valuable experience within a desired field. Allowing students to apply knowledge acquired in the classroom to real life scenarios.

Internship liability insurance covers the student and ¾Å¾Å¸£ÀûÍø in the event of third party claim.  Ordinarily, employees are covered by the policy of their employers; however, most host sites limit coverage to employees not interns.

To support and cultivate students learning experience the ¾Å¾Å¸£ÀûÍø offers professional and malpractice insurance to interns for third party liability claims. In order to receive coverage the following criteria should be met:

  • Internship must be for academic credit;
  • Internship should be uncompensated;
  • There should be an affiliation agreement between host site and ¾Å¾Å¸£ÀûÍø facilitated by the ¾Å¾Å¸£ÀûÍø academic department or the ¾Å¾Å¸£ÀûÍø’s experiential manager
  • Any non-LSU agreements should be reviewed by the Office of Risk Management for insurance considerations
