provides, including connecting students to research opportunities of all
kinds, doing information sessions several times per week to talk about
student research, hosting the Longhorn Research Bazaar during Research
Week, and offering course credit for research (UGS 310 and 320).
Research week this academic year will be April 15-19. |

| Shelby Stanfield, Vice Provost and Registrar, and Brenda Schumann,
Associate Registrar, addressed ACA about proposed changes to the
University's Zap/Cancellation policy. The goal is to give students who
do not pay their tuition by the deadline an opportunity to restore their
schedules more quickly than is currently possible. This led to a
lively discussion. |
