This zero credit course enables students to have supervised research experience on and off-campus recorded on their transcript. The research advisor will provide OFUR with a grade of Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory at the end of the semester. The requirements for satisfactory performance need to be agreed upon between you and your research advisor at the beginning of the term. Note that your research advisor can be faculty on or off campus. OFUR does not determine these requirements.

All students must have an advisor in place before registering for the course.   Once you register for the course, you will have access to the UNIV 301 OWL-Space account. Please place the name, department, and email address of your research advisor in your dropbox by Wednesday, January 16th. Anyone who fails to register an advisor by this date will be required to drop the course since OFUR needs to verify your participation and receive an S/U grade from this advisor. OFUR will not support late drop petitions to EX&S for students who register for the course without first securing a research position.
