Expectations
Accepted applicants are expected to respond to their acceptance email in a timely manner. Interns will need to provide necessary information and documentation at the request of REU program staff in advance of their arrival to campus. Interns must work with REU program staff to make travel arrangements to and from campus.
Interns are expected to dedicate their full attention to their research and academic requirements during the ten-week summer program, from the official program start date to the official end date. Interns are not permitted to have additional employment or take summer classes while participating in the REU program.
