The Office of Undergraduate Advising and Academic Programming is pleased to announce a new system that will allow submissions and processing of UROP proposals online.
The goal of the online system is to replace the current paper process, thus making it easier for UROP students, faculty mentors, and departmental UROP coordinator to submit and approve UROP applications.
Attend this session to learn more and see a demonstration of the system, which we hope to make available to all departments later this spring.
