Annual Security & Fire Safety Report
The federal Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act (Clery Act) requires colleges and universities, both public and private, participating in federal student aid programs to disclose campus safety information, and imposes certain basic requirements for handling incidents of sexual violence and emergency situations.
Florida Tech’s 2026 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus; in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by Florida Tech; and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus.
The numbers provided include crime statistics that were reported to local law enforcement agencies, campus security and other Campus Security Authorities.
The report also includes institutional policy statements regarding campus safety and security measures; descriptions of prevention and awareness programs; related university procedures and important guidance; and other essential safety information.
You can obtain a printed copy of this report at the Department of Security Welcome Center located at 3126 Panther Place, during normal business hours, or by accessing the following web site 2026 Annual Security and Fire Safety Report.
Official Transcripts
Official transcripts of all collegiate work must be sent directly from the attended institution to the Office of Human Resources prior to the first day of employment. All international degrees must have a course-by-course official evaluation and translation sent to the Human Resources Office directly from an evaluation company affiliated with the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services, Inc. (NACES).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding TN Visa Sponsorship as an Engineering Intern
Verify your degree field matches the role
TN visa classification for engineers requires a degree directly related to the internship's technical scope. A mechanical engineering degree supporting a civil engineering role can trigger a denial, so confirm the alignment before applying.
Request an official employer support letter early
Your employer's TN support letter must specify your job title, duties, degree requirement, and employment period. Get a draft before accepting the offer so you can catch gaps that would stall your border crossing or consulate interview.
Target employers with structured internship programs
Engineering internship sponsors who run formal rotational programs typically have HR teams experienced with TN paperwork. Look for postings that explicitly state they support international students or USMCA professionals rather than assuming sponsorship willingness.
Use Migrate Mate to find TN-sponsoring engineering roles
Searching broadly for internships wastes time on employers who won't sponsor. Migrate Mate filters engineering intern roles specifically by TN visa sponsorship history, so you can focus your applications on employers already set up to hire you.
Clarify internship duration before the TN is issued
TN status is granted for the period stated in your support letter, up to three years. If your internship is only four months, CBP may limit your admission to that window, which matters if you plan to convert to full-time employment afterward.
Prepare for an amended TN if your role changes post-hire
Engineering interns who rotate across departments or shift from design to testing may need an updated support letter and a new TN if duties change substantially. Confirm with your employer before rotating to avoid an unauthorized scope of work.
Engineering Intern TN Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Does an Engineering Intern role qualify for TN visa status?
Yes, if the internship requires at least a bachelor's degree in engineering or a related scientific field and the duties fall within engineering practice. Roles that are purely administrative or do not require engineering knowledge generally do not qualify. USCIS and CBP assess the degree-to-job relationship on a case-by-case basis, so the employer's support letter must tie the specific duties to a recognized engineering discipline.
How does TN visa sponsorship for Engineering Interns compare to H-1B?
TN is significantly more practical for internships. There is no annual lottery, no lengthy USCIS petition process for Canadians entering at the border, and approval can happen the same day at a port of entry. H-1B visa requires a lottery selection, a filed petition, and months of waiting, making it poorly suited to short-term internship timelines. Mexican nationals still need a consulate appointment for TN, but avoid the H-1B lottery entirely.
Can I find Engineering Intern jobs that already offer TN sponsorship?
Most internship postings do not specify visa type in the listing, so you often can't tell from the job description alone. Migrate Mate filters engineering intern roles by employer experience with visa sponsorship, which saves you from applying to companies that may lack familiarity with work visa processes. By focusing on employers with recent visa filings, you're more likely to find roles at organizations equipped to support the TN application process.
What documents do I need to cross the border as a Canadian Engineering Intern on TN?
Canadian citizens need a valid Canadian passport, the employer's original TN support letter, proof of engineering qualifications such as a degree certificate or official transcripts, and the job offer or employment contract. CBP officers may also ask for academic transcripts if your degree field is ambiguous relative to the internship duties. No petition is required in advance.
Can my Engineering Intern TN status be extended if I receive a full-time offer?
Yes. TN status can be renewed indefinitely in three-year increments, and a transition from intern to full-time engineer requires a new TN application with an updated support letter reflecting the permanent role title and duties. There is no limit on how many times TN can be renewed, though the role must continue to qualify under the USMCA engineer category at each renewal.
