NOTE RE: UROP for Credit Summer 2021: Due to the pandemic, students will have the option to register for the summer session and receive credit for UROP at no cost (i.e., tuition is waived). Departments may set a cap on the number of units for their summer for-credit UROP subjects, but the cap may not exceed 18 units. The 18 unit cap applies to the total number of units of UROP credits a student may register for this summer, whether it is in one UROP subject or spread out over multiple subjects. Note that the tuition-free option for credit UROP extends to summer 2021 only. For summers 2022 and beyond, applicable tuition will be charged for summer session UROP credit registration.

For grading, departments will also determine whether students may receive a letter grade (i.e., A/B/C/D/F) or whether grading will be P/D/F for those subjects. In addition to submitting your online UROP application<https://eduapps.mit.edu/uropweb/home.mit> no later than July 9, you must also register for the summer session. See the Registrar's site<https://registrar.mit.edu/registration-academics/registration-information/summer-registration> for details. The Summer 2021 credit registration deadline is June 12, 2021; anyone registering summer academic credit after this date will be subject to a $50 late registration fee.

See the Summer UROP page<https://urop.mit.edu/node/17296> in the COVID Alert section<https://urop.mit.edu/node/8840> for details on in-person UROPs and more.

NOTE: Wellesley Students must also heed an earlier cross-registration deadline<https://urop.mit.edu/node/6572> and follow the instructions that apply specifically for cross-registered students<https://urop.mit.edu/node/8360>.  In addition, Wellesley students are only eligible for remote UROPs this summer.
