The eLab Incubator provides self-directed students with resources with which to pursue their entrepreneurial ambitions. The program runs from early-October to early-May. Students must commit to the following:

• Provide initial program plan to the Program Manager and Coordinator
• Provide monthly updates to the Program Manager and Coordinator
