Banking hours at the internship site is a lot like banking pennies: they add up quickly.
Why bank hours? It's a technique to put in your required hours of work in a compressed time period, and then be released from work early at the end of the week. Some people consistently "bank" hours in order to take off Friday afternoons, for example.
Can anyone do it? Nope.
Who can do it? Interns who have permission. Any adjustment to the work schedule should be pre-approved by your supervisor or mentor.
Will the request be granted? Maybe. Or sometimes only occasionally. The wise course of action is to ask early!
