Participant Expectations
Participants in our summer Research Experience for Undergraduates (S-REU) must comply with certain expectations to receive credit.
Health
Texas state law (SB 1107) requires that all students (under age 22) entering an institution of higher education in Texas either receive a bacterial meningitis vaccination or meet certain criteria for declining such vaccination.
Commitment
You must participate in residence and all mandatory S-REU activities for the entire 10-week session.
You are expected to commit at least 40 hours a week, which includes research hours determined by the research mentor.
Additional Coursework
You are not permitted to be enrolled in any additional courses during the entire 10-week summer period, other than the required research course associated with the program.
Deliverables
Complete the required deliverables by their deadlines (TBD). Deliverables include, but are not limited to:
- Program surveys
- Curriculum vitae
- Research plan
- Progress report
- Abstract
- Paper
- Poster and poster presentation
The program administrators reserve the right to reduce or revoke your stipend amount, and/or lower your final course grade, and/or dismiss you from the program at any time, should deliverable requirements and expectations not be met.
Excused Absences
As a S-REU participant, you will be enrolled as a Texas A&M University student and will be expected to follow excused absence rules found at the Attendance page of the Student Rules site for all S-REU activities.
Vacations
All vacations (outside of weekends) must be approved by the S-REU program staff and the research mentor.
At the time of acceptance, participants must notify the S-REU program staff of any pre-planned extended vacations to provide the S-REU program and faculty mentor time to review the request and, if approved, make necessary scheduling and assignment arrangements.
Credit
Students will receive a satisfactory or unsatisfactory credit upon completion of the program. No letter grades will be given for participating.
