Submit a Project Request

Use this form to submit a project request to UComm for review. The more clearly you describe your project, the better the team can evaluate it. After you submit, your request is placed on the agenda for the committee's next project review meeting (held every other week) — you'll typically hear back within a week or two of that meeting. All fields required unless marked optional.
