“Occasionally, circumstances arise where a well-planned, quality internship experience cannot be
completed due to no fault of the student, the university or the internship agency. With the changing
environment of health care and human services, emergencies periodically arise because of the closure of
an agency, the termination of the CTRS agency supervisor, extreme emergencies or severe illness of
either the student or the CTRS supervisor. These circumstances may cause the internship experience to be
ended or suspended for a period of time. When this happens, the student intern, supervisor, and/or faculty
advisor may contact NCTRC for assistance”.
This is solely provided as a precautionary resource. If your internship were to be interrupted for any reason outside of your control, here is a guide from National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC) for steps that we would take to ensure you are able to still complete an internship in a timely manner: Internship Interruption Guidelines.
