How to Apply to SURE

1. Plan to attend to the SURE Information Session (see date above).
2. Review available projects on the SURE Projects tab (menu on left).
3. Contact the supervisor(s) of projects in which you鈥檙e interested to discuss your interest in the research, and the anticipated research tasks and deliverables for the project.
4. If you and the supervisor tentatively agree that you should apply to the project, proceed to the Online Student Application form (below).
5. Students may submit a maximum of 3 applications. If a student qualifies for more than one project, it is assumed that they wish to work on all projects equally and thus may be placed in a project at random. Therefore, should the supervisor and student agree to work together, the supervisor should rank only one student and the student should apply to only one project.
6. Please submit a new application form for each project you apply to. Once the Online Student Application has been completed and your transcript uploaded, please save a copy and email it to your prospective supervisor along with a copy of your Official University Transcript (91社区 students may submit their unofficial Minerva transcripts). External students will be asked to submit an official transcript if they are selected.
7. We anticipate a high level of participation in this program, and we therefore recommend that you discuss your candidacy with potential supervisors well ahead of the deadline. Note: Application packages (i.e., application form and transcript) are to be submitted to your intended supervisor via email.
8. SURE, and NSERC USRAs will be awarded on a competitive basis and award decisions will be based on CGPA and academic credentials.
9. Second Round:听 There will be a second round in March for those that have already applied.
