Greenlee COVID-19 Internship Policy for Spring/Summer 2020
|
The Greenlee School required internship (499A) is more than a course – it is an experience that prepares you to be more competitive for securing your next position in media and communication. Yet we understand COVID-19 has created a unique situation with regard to securing and completing internships, and we are committed to working with students to help them continue making progress toward graduation.
For students who (a) are or were working in their approved internship during the spring or summer semesters of 2020 or (b) are planning to graduate in spring, summer or fall 2020, we are offering
several options. Students should consult with their advisers as they consider what is best for their situation.

Spring 2020 PIE moving online
|
Due to the extension of remote learning at Iowa State University, the Poynter Institute Exam (PIE) will be offered online for the rest of the spring 2020 semester. Students will no longer come into Hamilton Hall on the designated testing days. Instead, students will take the PIE through the Poynter Institute website on their own time from any computer with Internet access. Students will have until 4 p.m. CDT Friday, May 1, 2020, to use their 5 attempts at the test. Passing requires a score of at least 78% (117 questions right out of 150).
Students who have already taken the exam will have those attempts count toward their total. For example, if a student already took the exam twice in person for spring 2020, they would have three more attempts to complete online.

Iowa State is
passing a new policy to allows students in any undergraduate course that was changed to virtual instruction as a result of COVID-19 to take the course as Pass/Not Pass and still have it count towards curricular, major, academic progress, and graduation requirements.
