The Science Research Courses offered through the University in the High School Program are derived from a unique research initiative overseen by Dr. Dan Wulff of the University at Albany's Biology Department in conjunction Mr. Len Behr of the University at Albany (formerly of Stissing High School). Completing an approved training workshop is a required first step for gaining admission into the UHS Program. Once that has been done, teachers must request approval for their science research course curriculum by sending a letter to the UHS office stating, in effect, that the workshop has been completed and that they agree to follow the guidelines of the Science Research Program as specified by Dr. Wulff and Mr. Behr. The resume and training certificate of the high school teacher who will be responsible for monitoring and evaluating students choosing to earn UHS credit must accompany any request for admission into the UHS Program.

Registration materials for enrollments and other pertinent information relating to the UHS Program are sent to teachers at the high school at the end of August. Summer registration materials are sent to the high schools in April. Please be advised that students must have a mentor in place before registering for a science research course. Also, students are eligible to register only after written approval for admission into the Program has been received by the high school teacher. Retroactive enrollment for student research work done prior to official admission into UHS is not allowed and should not be anticipated.
