Research Participation Signup Procedures
Signing Up
All research appointments are made through an online signup system. This system is accessed through eClass using any web browser with your CCID and password provided on your original timetable in the top right corner (assistance with CCIDs and passwords is available from Academic Information & Communication Technologies (AICT) – see “Notes” below for further details). Research appointments are made online only.
The online system will only allow students to sign up for their first 3 research credits at the beginning of the term which includes the mass testing research credit, if you choose to participate in the online mass testing survey (mass testing not available during spring and summer terms). The remaining 2 research credits will be available later in the term (approximately mid-way through the term).
