FLAS Nomination Form now Available Online

The new FLAS nomination form is now available to all designated department personnel to upload student-required information to compete in the 2014-2015 FLAS competition.

The new system eliminates duplicate paperwork and makes the process flow easier between the nominators and the FLAS coordinator.

The form is available by clicking here or by utilizing this link http://z.umn.edu/zumneduflas.

Quick Tips:

It is best to collect all of the information before uploading the information.

Uploaded documents (unofficial transcripts, student's 1-2 page statements, letter of recommendation, department nomination letter) can be in a word document or PDF.

Important: Where it states to put in the UMN Internet ID that you do not put in the full email address. This will stall the nomination form.

Students no longer need to get a statement from a LCTL instructor. They need only provide the instructor's name, Internet ID (x500) and email address. If the LCTL instructor does not have a University Internet ID please use the Non-University LCTL Instructor form provided by clicking FLAS Non-University LCTL Form.pdf. Once completed it can be uploaded with the other documents.

If you have any questions about the nomination process please visit the FLAS website by clicking here or contact Jodi Elowitz, FLAS Coordinator at 612-624-6527 or elow001@umn.edu.
