FAQ | Undergraduate Research Symposium

Intent to Present Submissions

I submitted an intent to present a few weeks ago. Do I ever get any feedback on that?

Feedback is not provided on Intent to Present content. It is used for planning purposes only.

Is it possible to either change the current intent to a different topic, or is it possible to give multiple talks.

As in prior years, students can only present more than one presentation if the topics are truly different. If your presentations are variations on the same theme, only one will be allowed. You can make the changes you mentioned when you submit your Abstract. If your topics are truly different, please contact Jennifer Rockhill, by email, jarvpr@rit.edu.

I missed the Intent to Present deadline, but would like to present my research at the Undergraduate Research Symposium.

You can still present your research at the Undergraduate Research Symposium by submitting your abstract before July 17th at 11:59 PM.

Abstract Submissions

I just started conducting my summer research on June 1. Why do I have to submit my Abstract only 6 weeks later?

It’s understandable that summer researchers would like the Abstract deadline extended. This Symposium is an opportunity for undergraduate students to present research conducted at any time during the past year.

Can my teammate and I do our presentation together?

Team presentations will be accepted for the in person symposium. Group presentations will not be accepted for the online symposium.

The e-mail confirming my abstract submission had a few strange characters in the abstract. Can I edit my Abstract?

Yes, please do. Login and make your own edits until July 17 for in person and August 9 for online.

I just submitted my abstract online, and when I received the confirmation email I noticed that my abstract was cut off.

I already submitted an abstract, but my advisor decided to change the title, abstract and/or presentation a bit. Can I email these changes?
