Volunteer
UROP
Volunteer
UROP is by
far the smallest
category of
UROP participation,
but can be
a great way
to learn about
faculty expectations
and the research
environment.
If you are
not yet ready
to make the
commitment
to a full
term of research,
or prefer
not to earn
pay or credit
for your work,
you may participate
in UROP as
a volunteer.
Applying
for Volunteer
UROP
To apply
for a volunteer
UROP, be sure
to submit
the following
items by the
given UROP
deadline for
the term:
- Submit your feedback on your
most recent
UROP(s).
- Write
a UROP
proposal and submit a volunteer UROP application by the given deadline for the semester/summer.
Guidelines
are available
in 7-104
and from
the Apply
section of
this site.
Important
Considerations
- UROP applications
will not
be processed
until all required approvals are on file.
- No approval emails will be
issued until
all application materials
have been
received
and approved
by UROP
staff.
Transcript
Notation
If you elect
to pursue
a volunteer
UROP, then
you are eligible
for a transcript
notation (Course#.URN)
that reflects
your research
participation.
URN notations
are awarded
by faculty
supervisors
at the end
of the fall
and spring
semesters,
provided that
you have made
satisfactory
progress throughout
the term.
