OSB Internship Students 1. The situation is the country is not safe, and therefore the OSB
and its faculty members do not want to jeopardize the safety of any of our
students, and will therefore assume no responsibility or liability of any form
for any student insisting on continuing to go around and to attend for and
fulfill their internships.
2. AUB has officially decided to "suspend all classes for
the summer session until further notice " Hence the summer session is frozen for
now.
3. Some students who already started their internship argue that in some areas,
continuing to attend for internship remains possible as some employers remain
operating and access to them from students' homes remain safe and feasible.
Students at their own risk may opt to complete their internships and we will
count this PARTIALLY or FULLY toward meeting the requirements. This is 100%
optional and the students risk (no liability or responsibility is assumed by OSB).
I must say, however, that in case AUB cancelled all registration in the summer
and refunded or gave cash credit for students who already paid their summer
tuition fees, completing internship (with satisfactory evidence from employer
and faculty supervisor) would be approved only after reinstating students in
BUSS 245 and after payment/reinstatement of the one credit course. Students
should communicate their continued internship with their assigned faculty
supervisor to her/his satisfaction.
4. Students who did not start their internship yet, SHOULD
not start now as no credit would be permitted.
5. OSB remains committed in the future, once things cool down and AUB decides to
resume classes, to reposition its students in internship program hopefully
without causing any delay in graduation on scheduled time. Where, where, how and
the length remain to be decided in the future.
