Sponsor Sign-off
The Sponsor Evaluation Form must accompany your final paper when you submit it to Academic Affairs (A-300; attn: Michelle Fleming) for review by the MSRTP Director. Be sure to allow plenty of time for your sponsor to review your paper and complete the evaluation form before the January 3, 2012 deadline! It is recommended that you touch base with your sponsor well before winter break to find out how much time he/she will need to review the paper. After your paper has been reviewed and approved, you will receive a letter confirming that you have fulfilled the III requirement.
