Terminology (what constitutes an undergrad institution)

[Nano-Passion]

I did a search on google but I was coming up with some mixed answers. I wanted to apply to this REU program and it said it was for students who are attending undergraduate institution. My two questions are the following:

Are community colleges considered undergraduate institutions?
Is a community college student considered an undergraduate?

Usually it means that you're enrolled in a bachelor's degree program at an institution that can award that degree. If you're just taking courses that will count "towards a bachelor's degree" at a community college, that may not be recognized.

Your best bet is to contact the administators of the program to see if you qualify under your specific circumstances.

Alright, thank you.

I disagree. I would consider a student at a Community (or Junior) an undergraduate. I do, of course, that the best thing to do would be to contact the administrators.
