CONTINUATION OF RESEARCH STUDY

Catalog description

A semester term-based, noncredit-bearing enrollment status used when the student is continuing the scholarly experience with the same mentor. It can be elected for up to three semesters following the initial scholarly experience. An application consisting of an interim report and mentor, study program director, and advisory dean approval is required. Students must turn in a quarterly progress report to the Third Year Office documenting interaction with mentor/lab and research progress. Failure to provide timely updates or meet expected research milestones may result in a professionalism concern and could affect eligibility for financial aid. Full-time student status is maintained during this enrollment, and the student is eligible for the benefits of enrollment, including loan deferment, eligibility for student health services and insurance, and financial aid for living expenses if they have not exceeded their aggregate limit. The required thesis based on the scholarly experience can be submitted either before or at the end of the period of CRS. Students may not be enrolled in any other coursework while enrolled in CRS. A continuation fee is charged for CRS status. No credit is awarded toward graduation credit based on this academic status.
