Photography Program Internship/Field Study Guidelines
(Practicum)
•
Student’s in Dakota College at Bottineau’s (DCB) photography classes will do
internship or 7ield study experiences as part of their educational training.
These applied experiences will help them to be “job ready” when they enter
the profession. The classes for which internship or 7ield study instruction will
be provided are as follows:

•
The DCB photography program will not assertively or opportunistically
promote its services outside of the campus environment in order to not be in
competition with the private sector. The program will take measures that will
help prevent it from requisitioning work otherwise accomplished by persons
in the profession.
•
Pictures taken by photography students as part of their course of study will
not belong to them. Ownership rights will lie with the parties for whom the
photographs have been taken. Students will sign a waiver stating that the
product of their internship or 7ield study photography work belongs to the
subjects of the photos or to their representatives.
•
All revenue generated by students’ internship or 7ield study experiences will
be invested back into the program to cover operation and equipment costs.
Dakota College students, instructors, or staff will gain no monetary bene7it
from their participation.
•
Students participating in an internship or 7ield study exercise will be
supervised and provided guidance by their instructor and advisor. No applied
training event will be approved that does not have proper authorization from
the photography program’s instructor/advisor. However, although the
students will be taught and directed by the institution, the actual engagement
in the educational experience may or may not be done under direct
supervision of their instructor.
•
Transportation to the locations where the photos will be taken will not be
provided by the institution.
