<p>I am going to be a freshman at Boston College this fall and I'm wondering about getting credit for an internship I completed this summer.</p>
<p>The internship was for a US Congressional Campaign for a special election. </p>
<p>I emailed administrators at BC and they said that they cannot grant credit for pre-matriculation internships.</p>
<p>Is anyone else in a similar situation and knows of a way to get around it? It seems irrelevant that it's before I started classes since I'm deposited, registered, etc...</p>
<p>Since when can you get college credit from a internship, especially when its not sponsored by the school? I've never heard of anything like this before.</p>
<p>I am 99.9% sure that you will not get credit for an internship held before starting college. It just won't happen, and if you really wanted to bother somebody long enough, they would probably give you a laundry list of reasons why. </p>
<p>For Richmond, it's difficult but not impossible. There's a lot involved, you have to set it up prior to the internship, find an advisor, do some written work, and of course, all of the requirements vary from department to department. I opted not to get credit for my current internship because I was accepted for it too late for me to begin this process.</p>
