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.
Some faculty will be able to accept new student associates but other faculty will not be able to do so until a later time. Students are paid by the participating faculty sponsor if funding is available. Students may obtain a UROP fellowship application form in the Sill Center. Students must also register for at least a one credit hour independent study or research under the supervision of their faculty sponsor. Paritial fellwships may be awarded when full funding is not available.
