PLEASE NOTE

The project needs to fall within the time frame during which student summer housing is available. If not, special approval must be given in advance. University budget policy states that students may not be employed by DePauw in another position while working under the summer research program in a full-time capacity. Consult the Faculty Development website for specific information. Also students may not attend classes or be employed off campus by another employer if either of these activities interfere with the time required for the project.
