Research Option – Registration Information

Students are reminded that changes are being implemented in the Research Option’s proposal and thesis writing course. The current 2-hour course (LCC 4700) will be replaced by two 1-hour courses (LCC 4701 and LCC 4702) which will better meet the option’s timeline. Students should contact the UROP office or the undergraduate coordinator for the school in which they are receiving the option for additional information. Students graduating in Spring 2010 or Summer 2010 should take the old LCC 4700 course to meet the requirements. Students graduating in Fall 2010 or beyond should begin working toward the 2-semester sequence of courses now. Detailed information on how to obtain permits for the supporting courses can be found at: http://undergradresearch.gatech.edu/infoaboutLCC4701&4702.php. We prefer to hear back from students during the first two weeks of Phase I registration!

Additional information on permits and registration for all three courses can be found below:
