Students must be in good academic standing and have identified a faculty member willing to sponsor their research or creative activity. Details are available in the Sill Center. The UROP Directory lists faculty members who are willing to work with undergraduate students. Campus organizations such as the Lowell Bennion Community Service Center , the Marriott Library , and the Women's Resource Center also have faculty who are interested in working with undergraduates. Each listing describes the general research interest of the faculty member, the role an undergraduate student would play in developing the specific project and the background needed to make a contribution.
Some faculty are willing to advise students who want to pursue projects of their own.
Each student is responsible for contacting professors and making arrangements for collaboration. Students may participate in research for academic credit or for pay, but not both. The rate of pay or number of credit hours earned are determined by the student and the faculty sponsor. Students seeking academic credit must have an academic component in addition to the work hours required for the project. Students are responsible for the tuition on the credit hours they earn.
