The program has two starting dates, in September and January, with the biggest pool traditionally starting in September.

The process for being enrolled in this program begins with the submission of a fully complete application form. The client application form for Fall 2013 intake can be downloaded by clicking here. File will download in a MS-WORD format.

Please apply by submitting your completed application to smallbusinessconsultingprogram@gmail.com.

The current deadline for client applications for Fall 2013 projects is September 6, 2013.

Process - Application Submission

In order to be guaranteed a consideration for the consulting program, clients will have to submit completed applications by the stated deadline. Clients who miss the deadline are still encouraged to apply, but they will not be guaranteed immediate consideration. All clients that are not considered for the program this period will be rolled over to the next recruiting period subject to client's explicit interest in being reconsidered.

Process - Application Decision

First round decision will be made by club officers based on a review of the applications submitted by clients. The evaluation is designed to identify projects that based on:

• reasonable scope,
• well-defined deliverables,
• clear commitment from the client organization,
• provide learning opportunity to students,
• strategic for the client organization.

This is a very competitive process and clients are encouraged to complete the application keeping in mind the evaluation criteria.

Club officers will match students' preferences with the available projects and will notify the clients in case they are selected to be part of the program. However, there could be projects that might not draw sufficient student interest based on the project proposal.
