Students should submit a memo to the Department Chair stating their tentative SIP topic and their preference for their departmental SIP Advisor no later than Friday of 4th week of Spring Quarter (or the academic quarter preceding the SIP Quarter). The Chair will confirm the assignment of SIP advisors no later than Friday of 5th week.

Note: The department is concerned that SIPs be distributed more or less evenly among departmental faculty, thus it reserves the right to assign you to one faculty member or another, depending on their SIP loads and the focus of your planned SIP. However, the department will do its best to honor your stated preference.
