*September 11: For years, some ENGINE member institutions have uploaded lists with a less than desirable number of student participants. The one common request was to allow uploads a little longer into the start of their fall terms. Thus, ENGINE will permanently expand the final date for uploading student lists to the Friday after Labor Day.
