Project Registration

Each project must be registered. If multiple students are presenting a project, only ONE student needs to register the project.

Mentors and students will be able to view a list of registered projects after the project has been registered.

Opens fall 2025

Deadline is Monday, February 9, 2026

Abstract Approval

On the registration form, the student researcher will be given the option of entering an abstract. A link to the project-specific G0ogle Doc will be sent to the student researcher and mentor and will be editable until the Abstract Approval deadline. Mentors can check for registered students, titles of projects, etc. on the list of registered projects.
