We've listened to feedback from students and faculty from our previous round of research matching. For the current round (Late Fall for Spring 2025), we've expanded the time for faculty to post projects (you now have until November 1), and the students will also have more than two weeks (November 2 - 17) to apply. Application review will take place from November 18 through December 8.
This expanded round should give everyone a bit more breathing room to get their projects and applications in order.
Students, if adding research credit is going to take you into overload territory, please keep in mind that overloads must be requested by the 6th class day of the spring semester.
