The application period for the Instructionally Related Activities (IRA) LATE call funding for spring 2027 will run from 8 a.m. Friday, Sept. 4 to 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2.

To be eligible, activities must: (a) be discipline/departmentally based and sponsored, (b) be integral to course offerings, (c) be intensive, structured activities, (d) require active rather than passive student involvement, (e) engage students in performances, presentations or competitions that demonstrate skills from participation in intensive class work.
