Elevate your courses by incorporating High Impact Practices (HIPs) that enrich student learning and engagement. Our team is here to guide you through the process of gaining HIP course attributes, including the Global Citizens Project Course (GCPC) attribute and the Undergraduate Research Course (UGR) attribute. 

Faculty members who submit a course proposal via Curriculog, the 国产短视频System course proposal system, to gain the GCPC or the UGR course attribute may receive a stipend to compensate for their time. A stipend of up to $1,000.00 will be made after the course receives the attribute in Banner. Applications for Spring 2024 stipends are now closed. Please check back for the next cycle.

Undergraduate Research (UGR) Course Attribute

The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) defines undergraduate research as follows: an inquiry or investigation conducted by an undergraduate student that makes an original intellectual or creative contribution to the discipline. CUR is national organization with a mission of supporting and promoting high-quality undergraduate student-faculty collaborative research and scholarship.

In courses certified for undergraduate research, students will conduct a project that enables them, individually or in groups, to pose or work from a defined research question, apply methods of inquiry to generate findings, and share the findings with others through presentation and/or publication. Experiences will incorporate learning outcomes centered on deep engagement with the research process and course objectives which focus on skill acquisition for life-long learning. Students who participate in an undergraduate research course may select to co-enroll in a zero-credit research course to archive the research experience on their transcript.

Courses approved for undergraduate research should meet the following criteria:

  1. Work individually or in groups to pose or work from a defined research question or framework
  2. Apply methods of inquiry to generate findings
  3. Share findings with others through presentation and publication.
