SCCUR 2007 invites undergraduate students to give formal presentations or displays of original research, scholarly activities, or creative endeavors in all academic areas. Presentation formats may be as diverse as the fields they represent but must be appropriate to the discipline.

• Undergraduate students who wish to present their faculty-mentored research or scholarly/creative activity at SCCUR must complete the Presentation & Abstract Submission Form. Completion of this form is due no later than Friday, October 5, 2007.



• On the form, submitters will indicate the number of student presenters and the number of mentors associated with their particular project and presentation. Submitters will also be asked to provide information on themselves, their mentor(s), and other undergraduate presenters, if applicable. This includes identifying whether presenters and faculty mentors are high school students or mentors, community college students or mentors or, four-year college or university students or mentors. Please note that in the case of group presentations, only one submission per project is needed.



• Next, student presenters will also be asked to upload/attach an electronic version of their project’s abstract. They will also be asked to indicate whether their faculty mentor(s) has approved the abstract. In the heading of the abstract, please include any additional undergraduate co-authors who are not presenting at SCCUR. For more details, please review the Abstract Guidelines.



• Submitters will also be asked about the details of their presentation, including the title of the project/presentation, whether it’s an oral (this includes performances) or poster presentation, the area of research for the project, and the equipment needed for the presentation.



• A confirmation via e-mail will be sent to the student presenter(s) and faculty mentor(s) once the submission has been received. This confirmation will include a code that allows them to access and update the submission. The e-mail will also include a Web site link with the code already embedded so they can easily access the submission. Any edits, except for those requested by the abstract reviewer, will need to be completed by the deadline for submission, which is Friday, October 5, 2007.



• Once the deadline for submission has passed, the review process will start.



• Once the review is complete, student presenter(s) and faculty mentor(s) will be sent an e-mail notifying them if the submission was accepted, not accepted, or needs modification (which will need to be completed immediately) before a final decision can be made. Any modifications requested by the abstract reviewer should be e-mailed by Thursday, October 18, 2007. It will also prompt student presenter(s) and faculty mentor(s) to register for the conference, if they haven’t already done so, and ask them to send e-mail invitations to any guests that they wish to invite through an automated system. These e-mail invitations to guests will introduce them to the conference and invite them to register. Faculty mentors can also invite their colleagues to register. Once a presentation has been scheduled, student presenters, faculty mentors, and their guests associated with that particular presentation will receive a final e-mail notification about the time and place of the presentation and directions to the conference site.
