Credit for students
Students should be signed up for research credit unless doing so is financially disadvantageous (e.g., causes the student to exceed a tuition level that is affordable). Credit is typically awarded on the basis of one credit hour for each three hours worked, and may involve other requirements depending upon departmental requirements. The number of hours you register for is to be decided by the research and the department granting credit. Review the full listing of courses by department.
Because it is linked to Federal Work-Study, the CURA Award is not available for summer research. Please contact our@uic.edu to discuss alternative summer programs on and off-campus.
