Credit course for supervised participation in faculty research project.  The Research Opportunity Program (ROP) provides an opportunity for Arts and Science degree students (St. George) in their second year (i.e. after completing at least 4 but not more than 8.5 credits) to earn one course credit by participating in a faculty member's research project.

Not all departments or programs will necessarily participate in the ROP each year.

Descriptions of ROP projects are available on the Faculty's web site and in the Program Office (room 2133, Sidney Smith Hall, 100 St. George Street) mid February.  Students wishing to participate should email online ROP application forms to deb.shaw@utoronto.ca by the due date indicated on the website.  Students can apply to a maximum of five ROPs in total, but can accept only one.  Students are informed whether they have been accepted in early July for Fall/Winter courses (mid April for Summer courses).  Successful applicants are registered by the Program office.
