Change of duration of the internship: extension, suspension and interruption

EXTENSION

Recovery of the originally planned duration — curricular internship for credits: suspensions must in any case be recovered by the scheduled end of the internship through extension, if they affect the internship’s minimum duration. — curricular without credits or extracurricular internship: recovery is to be effected at the discretion of the employer. In the event that the intern must be absent in order to take an exam, the day thus lost need not be recovered.
