There are three ways you can join us: 1) for 3 credits (CRIM 498: Research Practicum), 2) as a volunteer, OR 3) if you are work-study eligible you may be able to sign up through the OSCAR office for paid work with us. You'd contact them directly to figure this out.
To register for credits, you need to see your undergraduate counselor/adviser for the forms to sign. You can schedule an appointment here. Then, you will be able to register for CRIM 498: Research Practicum (3 credits). Your form will then be signed by an ACE! faculty member so that your work with ACE! can begin when the semester begins through the last day of classes. You work ~10 hours a week all semester. Provided you have done a good job, you'll earn 3 credits and a letter grade for your work. We will work out your UGRA schedule to work around your class/work/other schedule. We're flexible.
If you choose to volunteer, you just need to email us at ace@gmu.edu to set up a meeting to discuss your interests and availability (minimum 5 hours per week) to volunteer.
If you think you may be, or know you are, work-study eligible you can contact the OSCAR office (oscar@gmu.edu) and/or the work study office on campus to check your eligibility and see if there are any paid positions open at ACE! You can find out more about these opportunities here.
