Academy Central Support Thread! Go to thread for academy questions

@Hope thank you! i was really worried for a second

Hi, so I plan to take an internship program on 7 cup as part of my university curriculum. however, my university require student to enroll in all subject (internship confirmation included) by mid January. I plan to start my internship in July, could I sign up for the internship now and start in July?

@saltedham

Yes, you can. Marking as resolved since already discussed in PMs.

I’m confused cuz it says that I need to apply for the internship badge in the internship email, but when I went to the link in the email… it said that if you started after January 31, 2022 (I started today), then you don’t need to apply for the intern badge and you should already have it. But I don’t have it.

Also, community building program, is that just any other academy class? Like for example quality listening, leadership, that group oriented one, that one about digital content and marketing, etc.?

If you meet the requirements for the tiny chat and sparkler badges, who do you speak to about getting them?

@resourcefulMirage2502

The site will automatically assign you those badges once you hit the number of group chats needed for each one.

@resourcefulMirage2502

Hi Mirage! You don't have to apply for any badge but regardless of your batch. You need to submit the trial completion form once two weeks complete your program.

Community Building is a course, not a program. Courses like community building and time management are part of academy programs, not a program on their own.

I see. Thank you for letting me know. Could I have the link to the community building course? The community building course link included in the internship requirements page is broken.

Thank you! The site hasn’t given me the intern badge yet and I also can’t access the orientation group chat (today is orientation, right now). I think it said I need the badge to access the group chat. Can someone help me with this as well?

@resourcefulMirage2502

Hi Mirage! You have been assigned the badges. You can join the next orientation session today at 4 PM ET in the Academy hub room. You can also attend the next academy check-in on Thursday at 11 AM ET. More sessions can be found here

Got it! Will do. Thank you so much for your and everyone else’s help! I know I sent a lot of messages, I hope I wasn’t a bother.

This place is for questions and support, you made the best use of it. No bother at all!❤ Good wishes for your journey ahead!

A quick tip, when in forums, if you'd like to receive a response from someone specifically, you can tag them like how I tagged you here: @resourcefulMirage2502, an "@" sign before someone's complete username tags them, and notifies of the same so they can check out and respond when able to!

I see. Got it. Thank you! Same to you in general!

Can the trainings you completed before starting the internship also count towards your major and elective requirements?

@resourcefulMirage2502 yes

Ok. Thank you for answering my question!

So, for my internship requirements, I need four hours of chat/one on one messages each week of my internship. Do 4 hours have to be done each week? For example, could I do 2 hours in week 1, then 6 hours in week 2 to make up for last week?

@resourcefulMirage2502, yes you can make up for it in another week

Ok. Ty

I missed both sessions of adult orientation today. I have the trainee badge but the link just did not work for me either times. I do not have Academy Hub chairwoman popping up on my end.

@YourCaringConfidant

I have responded to your PM. Anyone reading, You need the program-specific badge to access the room. Before an academy session is set to happen, ensure you have the badge. You can reach out to me and the program ambassador if you have not been assigned one.

I submitted my trial completion form earlier today. Is there anything else I need to do in regards to that?

The internship ambassador’s email said

“Failure to submit the badge request form for more than one week after your trial ends will result in automatic withdrawal of your Internship.”

I didn’t receive a link for the badge request form. What is the badge request form for? Is it to receive the Intern badge? I already have the Intern badge.

@resourcefulMirage2502, badge request form does not apply to you since you already have your badge

Understand. Thank you for your help! @wonderfulRainbow817

@resourcefulMirage2502

We will update the text to reflect the right term 'trial completion form' which needs to be submitted even though we assign badges when you avail your seat. This is the form

@Hope Thank you!

@Hope I submitted the trial completion form a few days ago, so I’m all good there! Again, thank you so much for your help!

@Hope

Hey, so I'm doing the internship program on the student track. How can I know if I'm hitting the number of hours required every week?

@Ravis889

For context: doing compulsory 5 + 2 hour elective = 7 hours a week

Hey @Ravis889, you can always keep the track for your hours, from the day your internship started. This post explains about how the internship hours are calculated: https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsInternship_167/InternshipProjectAnnouncementandUpdates_1899/InternshipHourTrackingSystemChange_156102/1/#2071710

Ofcourse if you need more help with the hours, or tracking, you can check in with a mentor here: https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsInternship_167/MentorOffices_1129/InternshipProgramMentorsAvailabilityUpdates_76430/

i just started my trial today for the intern program but i already recieved the intern badge. does this mean i can go directly to starting the program?

@heathermarie95, you will still need to complete the trial requirements if you haven't already and submit the trial completion form before working on the other electives

thank you. i appreciate the swift response :)

What’s a good way to get 20 or more referral clicks? I don’t even know 20 people.

@resourcefulMirage2502 Try social media posting your referral link.

Thank you for the suggestion.

@resourcefulMirage2502

Yes social media is a good idea. Please do not share the link on 7 Cups. But you can share it in any social media group you are a part of and that allows it and you can get 20 with ease

Ok, thanks.

@resourcefulMirage2502

Social media is the answer hehe. Also, this is a helpful forum post on achieving referral clicks: https://www.7cups.com/forum/7CupsInternship_167/FAQsandResources_1127/ASimpleGuidetoReferralClicks_84435/1/
