The deadline to apply for Instructionally Related Activities [IRA] funding for the academic year is Friday, Oct. 2.

The goal of the IRA program is to provide student fee funding for out-of-class experiences for students participating in an academic program, discipline or department where those experiences are integrally related to one of its instructional courses. Such activities are deemed essential for providing a quality educational program and constitute a vital and/or enhanced instructional experience for students.

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.

The application can be found on the ASI website. If you have questions, contact the ASI Business Office at 559.278.2656.
