'''Additional note:''' after acceptance of the project proposal, students will need to bid for '''IS483''' ('''not''' SMT483) during BOSS2, and they should bid only '''e$10'''. If there is insufficient e$ balance in a student's account, they will not be able to enroll in IS483 even if their team's proposal is accepted.
