To Register for Undergraduate Research Credit

Note: if you are an ESRM: General, ESRM: SFM, or ESRM: REEH student planning on satisfying Department Honors requirements via 10 credits of Honors ESRM 499, please complete the ESRM Capstone Application below, rather than this research application.   All other ESRM and SBSE 499 student, please fill out this undergraduate research application.

The Undergraduate Research Registration form and where to submit the completed form are located here. Please note: there are two types of registration forms available:

  • registering yourself as an individual student doing research with a faculty member, or
  • registering a group of students doing the same research with a faculty member

For more information about research opportunities, see the Undergraduate Research Opportunities page

To Register for Undergraduate Internship Credit

Both the Undergraduate Internship Registration Form (for ESRM 399A or SBSE 399A) and where to submit it are available at this location. Registration instructions for ESRM 399B are available at this page (in the Click Here section). For more information about choosing between ESRM A and ESRM 399 B sections, see the top section of this page.   SEFS Student Internship Opportunities has additional information about internships.

To Register for a ESRM Senior Capstone, Apply for ESRM Department Honors, or Select your ESRM: REEH Capstone/Course substitution option

[Update 9/5/25]

ESRM Senior Capstone and ESRM Department Honors applications have been combined into one major/degree option-specific application form and a separate capstone registration form that is completed after you are assigned a faculty member. Please choose the correct forms below.  Application forms are now available, and the registration forms will be posted shortly.   Only students seeking a capstone complete these forms, unless you are in the ESRM: REEH degree option.

A special note for REEH students: all REEH students graduating during Autumn 2025-Autumn 2026 (unless you have already completed a capstone) must complete the REEH Selection Form below, as you need to confirm whether you are planning to do a Capstone or pursue the 10-credit course substitution option to meet your capstone graduation requirement.

  • Restoration Ecology and Environmental Horticulture (REEH) Option students graduating in Autumn 2025, Winter 2026, Spring 2026, Summer 2026, or Autumn 2026 only:  Unless you completed a Capstone in Summer 2025 or earlier, you must complete the REEH Senior Selection Form to choose whether or not you want to apply for a Capstone placement or complete the 10 credits to substitute for your Capstone requirement.  More details about your options and a link to the Selection form are available at this Blog post.  REEH students graduating after Autumn 2026 may find the Blog post helpful, but please note that the Capstone/Course substitution options are subject to change for 2027+.
    • Once REEH students doing Capstone receive Capstone placements from SEFS Advising, there will be a brief registration form available here that you will need to complete and submit in order to be registered by SEFS advising.
  • ESRM: General, ESRM: Natural Resource and Environmental Management (NREM), and ESRM: Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) students graduating in Winter 2026, Spring 2026, Summer 2026, or Autumn 2026 AND who want to complete a Senior Capstone (Capstones are optional for these students): Unless you completed a Capstone in Summer 2025 or earlier, you must complete the ESRM Capstone Application to be placed into a Capstone (even if you are already in a lab).  More details and a link to the application are available at this blog post.
    • Once ESRM: General, ESRM: NREM, and ESRM: SFM students receive Capstone placements from SEFS Advising, there will be a brief registration form available here that you will need to complete and submit in order to be registered by SEFS Advising.
  • ESRM: Wildlife Conservation (WC) students graduating in Winter 2026, Spring 2026, Summer 2026, or Autumn 2026, unless you completed a Capstone in Summer 2025 or earlier, must sign up to be placed in your capstone at the ESRM: Wildlife Conservation Capstone Application form; this form is required even if you are already in a lab (though the amount of information you need to submit is very small).
