After you have met with the coordinator, if you are eligible, your coordinator will open your application on Lehman 360 and send you the link. You will complete Part 1 of the application. See Accessing Lehman 360 User Guide or visit the IT Help Desk for assistance with accessing Lehman 360

If you remain eligible, Part 2 will be open for you to complete. For Part 2, you will need to send recommendation forms to two professors which they will fill out and return to you (or to your coordinator, if they prefer.) Ideally, at least one of these professors taught your ECE minor course.
