FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs) I am interested in initiating a 3D printing workshop. Must I fulfil the minimum 26 contact hours within a term to be eligible for the UTOP certificate? To be eligible for UTOP certification, your entire UTOP activity must fulfil a minimum of 26 contact hours (of which 1/3 of the total contact hours can be considered towards course preparatory/administrative work. However, it need not be within a term. It can be, for example, within a 3-day workshop too. I wish to submit a student-initiated workshop proposal. When is the deadline for submission? There is no deadline for student-initiated workshop proposal submissions as we accept proposals all year round! You have to look for a faculty/staff advisor to acknowledge the proposal. Incomplete submissions will not processed. Send in early for review in time for your activity as student proposals may take up to 2 weeks for review. I know of a peer/undergraduate who does teaching without any pay or recognition; can I recommend him/her for UTOP? Know of someone who fits the requirements but is not recognised?
