Another fund, the Final Project Enhancement Fund, is allocated by Academic Affairs Committee and is intended to allow a student to go beyond the level of approved projects if funding will enhance the final product. Applications for the Final Project Enhancement Fund are available in the Academic Dean's Office. A COA faculty member serves as the Final Project director. This person is responsible for the final evaluation and may or may not be the faculty member on a student's permanent advising team. In addition, resource persons outside the College may be used, and in certain cases some honorarium support will be provided them.
Deadlines differ from term to term, due to the increasing time pressures as spring graduation nears.
Intent Forms for Final Projects for fall term registration must be submitted to Review and Appeals Committee when fall registration is due in the spring term. Forms are available in the Registrar's Office. The format for Final Project proposals is as variable as the range of projects. Proposals should be readable by the general community and free of jargon. The relevance of the project within the context of a COA education should be clear.
