Process for obtaining the Undergraduate Research Graduation Cord
The Undergraduate Research (UR) Graduation Cord is administered through the Center for Undergraduate Research. It recognizes undergraduate students who have participated in research experiences and other scholarly activities during their undergraduate academic tenure at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Attendance in a research course does not qualify as an undergraduate research experience.

- Must have participated in a faculty-mentored research experience or an original scholarly or creative activity at any time in the undergraduate academic career;
- Must have documented outcomes (a poster, journal article, proof of a creative performance) from the research experience, scholarly activity, or creative activity; and
- Must have presented outcomes at a professional conference, or at a Center for Undergraduate Research Symposium, or published in an academic journal.
Undergraduate Research Participation Form:
- Complete the Undergraduate Research Participation form, and
- Obtain the signature of the faculty-mentor for the specified research experience, scholarly or creative activity.
