Just received word from my assigned facility POC that I set to intern at my assigned facility with the start/end dates that I requested. However, I still haven't received word that my internship has been approved by SMART. Have any other interns experienced something similar to this? If so, how was it handled?

I received my internship acceptance and on Friday I did get the extra internship support payment.

If you got the payment but not a letter (emailed to you) stating how long your internship is and that you are officially accepted, you should email SMART directly and ask.

Just a few weeks from my start date and I STILL haven’t been approved. I’m supposed to be there for 10 weeks and I did receive an extra $3,333.33 this month in what I’m assuming is 1/3 of the ISP. Should I just assume I’m good to go?

Air force here as well, scheduled to start in less than three weeks and still haven't gotten my internship approved. Any idea what happens if our start date passes and we have yet to be approved? Starting to get a bit nervous that it won't be approved at all, as I have never dealt with a delay like this in the past.[/quote]

Pretty sure you just take summer classes. I registered for summer just in case and can drop them if it gets approved no penalty. In your case with a start date so soon, I’d reach out to your SF and SMART. My finals aren’t finished until May 17th so I have quite a few weeks.

Nope, me neither. Are you air force by chance?
Yep!

SMART emailed me saying there was an issue with my paperwork (SF put my dates Sun-Sat not M-F) about two weeks ago. I had to email my SF and reconfirm the correct dates and resubmit things. They said it had to go through review and they would notify me when completed. Judging on this exchange it sounds like they are at least working on getting people approved.

I've also emailed twice in the last two weeks. Neither have been answered :/

This will not be the last time you experience this level of uncertainty while working with the DoD.

I have emailed twice now, and they cannot tell me when I will be notified either way. I am supposed to fly out in less than 6 weeks.

It was emailed to me on February 1.

Contact your point of contact and ask them specifically.
Why would internships be denied? Is it always security clearance related?

I submitted mine a month ago, and I am now less than 8 weeks out from my start date. I will need to buy flights, book a rental car, and begin looking for housing in the area soon.

I emailed SMART to get an ETA and all they said was “You will receive a notification as soon as your internship request is processed. Thank you for your patience.”
If I were you, I would assume it will be approved and start booking these things from now. They will only get more expensive as it approaches, and it seems doubtful It will end up getting denied.
