Wednesday April 22, 2009

URCAD Application Form
Submission Deadline: Friday February 27, 2009

Mentor Statement of Support for Student Submission
Please enter the UMBC username of the student you are responding to:
@umbc.edu

Instructions

In the blank to the left, enter in the UMBC ID of the student you are responding to. This is the first part of their UMBC email address. Do not attempt to access the form by entering the student name.

The form screen should come up already partially filled out - with the student’s name, email, project title, etc. To ensure a successful student-mentor linkage in the database, it is necessary for the student form to be completed before the faculty mentor form.

In the blanks left on the faculty form, you should only need to fill in your rank/job title, department, phone number, your “high/low ranked” assessment, and your personal comments. Then check off the last two boxes indicating your willingness to be a faculty advisor and that you have proofread the student’s abstract. All of the blanks/boxes should be filled in at this point, except one (whether you have an ‘other institutional affiliation’).

Click Submit.

Another screen will appear with the phrase, “Thank you for your submission.” This signifies a successful submission. If you have left out a mandatory field, a reminder message will appear, sending you back to complete the form.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call Janet McGlynn at 410-455-5754.
