Special
Projects are electives with UT-Houston faculty that are arranged
on an ad hoc basis--they are not listed in the catalog. They allow
you to pursue a particular interest with a particular faculty member.
How to enroll? There are two steps:
1) On the elective form you are turning in, write SPEC 4000 for
the department code and course number. Write in the title (e.g.,
"Research in Ophthalmology").
2) At least 2 months prior to the start of the Special Project
month, obtain a Special
Project Form from Student Affairs and have the faculty
member fill it out and sign it. Then submit the form to Student
Affairs for approval by either Dr. Lahoti or Dr. McNeese. You
will receive a copy of the approved form in your mailbox or via
email.
3) Make sure the Registrar has you listed for a SPEC 4000 for
the appropriate month. If not, add it via UTLINK.
Otherwise, you cannot receive credit for the elective.
