Enter Your Application:

1. Once you’ve picked which project(s) you’ll be applying to, and prepared a statement of interest for each project, you’re ready to begin the online application process. Go to the URAP application page and follow the prompts. You’ll receive some instructions, and then be asked for contact information. After you’ve entered your contact information, you’ll be taken to a screen listing all the professors with open projects. If a professor’s name appears twice, with two different departments, this means that his or her project is cross-listed; you can select either entry. Your selection will in no way affect your application. Please note: If a professor has multiple projects open, and you are interested in more than one, you only need to submit one application, but you should indicate your preferences. If there is really only one project that interests you, say so. You can only submit one application on this screen, but you’ll be given opportunity to submit two additional applications later in the online application process.
2. Next, you will be taken to a screen where you can enter your statement of interest. Paste only the statement of interest that refers to the project to which you are applying; each individual project requires a separate statement of interest.
3. Now you will be asked to provide information about up to eight college-level classes you have taken that are relevant to the project you are applying to. This is an opportunity for faculty who choose to review applications electronically to view your grades before your paper application and unofficial transcript are forwarded to them (more about this later!), as well as a chance for you to demonstrate your understanding of the skills needed to successfully work as an apprentice on a given project. Do not include information about AP or any other classes at the high school level. Don’t be concerned if you have not yet completed eight relevant courses – this is a maximum number you can provide information about, not a minimum request.
4. Next you will reach a page providing a link to a printable copy of your application. The printable version will appear in a new window. YOU MUST PRINT THIS SCREEN! If something goes wrong with your computer or printer, don’t worry – you will also receive an email at the address you provided at the beginning of the application, linking you to the page containing all the information you submitted.
5. After printing your application, click the Continue button on the original window. You will now have the opportunity to apply for additional projects (up to 3 total) or finish the application process. But you are not done yet!
6. To activate your application(s), please deliver the print out of your application(s) along with a copy of your unofficial transcript and your class schedule for the spring semester to 301 Campbell Hall by 4 p.m. Monday, January 25th! Do not forget to staple your transcript and class schedule (one for each application!) to your application– faculty will need to see your grades! Make sure you choose the Bear Facts option that includes your name on your printout. See also: Why do I have to submit a paper application after I applied online?.
