FINRA Licenses in Business School Internships

Do companies 'reactivate' your FINRA licenses if you are in roles (specifically Asset Management/client interacting roles) for summer internships if theyre needed? Or what about for off campus recruiting for roles that you'd start post grad -- will the firm, after hiring you, snag your U4 and process it to make your licenses 'live' again or will you have to go through the process in its entirety to reacquire them again? Anyone know?

Don't quote me on it but I think you keep your FINRA licences for 2 years, doesn't matter if you leave your firm or not. They just have to sponsor you once.
