Research and Scholarship Defined
UGRASP at Southern Utah University defines undergraduate research and scholarship as those inquiry-based activities/projects which satisfy the following criteria:

- Students must demonstrate at least partial ownership of the project.
- The student must engage with the academic history of the discipline in which they are working.

To satisfy the last criteria, students may disseminate the results of their project/activity via any of the following methods:
- Department symposium
- SUU’s annual student-faculty scholarship week
- Local, Regional, National, or International conference/meeting/expo
- Campus publication
- Off-campus publication (not peer-reviewed)
