Permit Request Form for Research Capstone

This form is for students to register for CS 4980 as part of the Research Option to complete

their Capstone requirement for the BSCS degree.

Instructions for Faculty: The Research Option Capstone is a 9 hour commitment for students

interested in using research to satisfy their junior design/capstone requirement. The student will

complete research under your supervision for three semesters and complete LMC 4701

Undergraduate Research Proposal Writing and LMC 4702 Undergraduate Research Thesis Writing

course to satisfy the capstone and Technical Communications degree requirements. Please review

the student’s proposal below to verify it includes a statement of the research problem or question, a

description of work to be completed, and bibliography.

Instructions for Students: Complete this form in consultation with the CS faculty member who

will be responsible for overseeing your work and assigning your grade. Nine research hours (CS

4980, 4699, 4698, 2699, or 2698) plus LMC 4701 and 4702 are required for this option. Four of the

research hours should be registered as CS 4980 and must be for letter grade. In order to receive a

permit to register for your research course, turn this form into the Drop Box located between CCB

114 and CCB 115 no later than finals week of the semester prior to your research. This deadline is

strictly enforced.

Proposal Requirements: The Research Capstone project requires a research plan, faculty advisor

review and signature. Your proposal document must include:

 A statement of the research problem or question with at least two references.

You should read at least two papers on the research problem or question.

Consider a research paper by your advisor or, if the work is externally funded,

the proposal written for that funding.

 A description of the work to be completed

Permit: Once form is received, please allow 48 hours to receive a permit. Once you receive a

permit, you are responsible for registering for the course and the designated hours as discussed

with your faculty supervisor on this form. Note: An approved permit doesn’t register the student in

the course. Research is a variable hour course and will default to one hour unless the student changes

the hours before registering for the course.
