"SIGNING ON" WITH A MENTOR:

As the semester progresses, the burden falls on the student to find a designated 581 Mentor
who is willing to "sign on" to mentor the 581 project. It is up to the student(s) to solicit
the Mentor, make an appointment and present their project If after the individual designated
Mentors have read the student's script, none of them wish to accept that script for production
as a 581, please understand that the school has no obligation to guarantee the student a
Mentor for that script. 

NO "CARRYOVER" OF MENTOR-STUDENT PAIRINGS:

Should a student who has already "signed on" with a Mentor then decide to postpone his or
her project to a later semester, the student then must "start from scratch" and re-submit
all of the above required paperwork to the new pool of designated Mentors for that later
semester. 

DEADLINE FOR "SIGNING ON" A MENTOR:

(See 551 Due Date Sheet for Fall, Spring and Summer deadlines, included in the Advanced
Productions Handbook.)
