Offering an Applied Learning Experience
The first time a course or experience is conducted as an applied learning experience (ALE), the REAL Council must verify it meets the criteria and student learning outcomes of the REAL program. The experience may be initiated with or without initial funding. See below for more details.
If an experience has already been approved and developed and will be continuing, the ALE Renewal Form is used to notify the REAL Council of the ongoing experience so those involved may receive appropriate credit. See below for more details.
For assistance with any of these applications, feel free to contact the QEP Coordinator or any other member of the REAL Council.
Grants to develop and pilot an ALE
- Calls for Proposals are issued once in the fall semester, for the current academic year, and once in the spring semester, for the following academic year.
- Complete an application for the appropriate applied learning area. Note that a separate ALE application is required for each experience and for each area covered by your experience. Applications must be completed by the experience supervisor.
