Dear MSPQC Students:

If you plan to enroll in PHYS 799 for research in Summer 2023 and/or Fall 2023, please read the instructions in this email.

Remember, you can participate in research with a faculty member and choose not to enroll in PHYS 799. This course is an elective. We encourage participation in research; however, if you do not need that additional credit towards the 30 minimum required to graduate from the MSPQC program (or to be in compliance with another enrollment policy), then it may not be necessary to enroll in the course. Though I think for most of you, doing research for credit will make sense for your academic plan. Please come talk to me about this if you have questions.

I have now finished entering all admissions for students who submitted a research survey during PHYS 701 that indicated they may do research in Summer 2023. I have entered your permission to enroll based on the specific professor identified-if you plan to do research alongside another faculty member, please respond to this email with your updated research plans.

Also, please don't forget to complete a research/independent study approval form and return to me through email.

Finally, if you plan to enroll in research credit in Fall 2023, please reach out to me directly to notify me of your plans and share a research approval form. You will not be able to enroll in PHYS 799 without permission in the student information system for a specific course and section associated with the faculty member. I have to enter these permissions manually.
