Description from DukeHub
Optional Research Studies is a semester term-based, non-credit bearing enrollment status used when the student is conducting a new/different research project with a new mentor at Duke or away from Duke. It can be elected for up to three semesters. An application consisting of a brief research project description and approval by the mentor and the advisory dean is required. A brief report to the advisory dean on the progress of the project is required at the end of each semester. Full-time student status is maintained during this enrollment, and the student is eligible for the benefits of enrollment, including loan deferment, eligibility for student health services, insurance and financial aid for living expenses. A continuation fee is charged for this status.
