For December graduates the thesis must be ready for submission to the thesis adviser and a second reader by the 13th week of classes. For May graduates, the thesis must be ready for submission by the 11th week of classes.

On submission day, students need to present the final version of the project to the thesis adviser and to deliver one copy to 305 EPB to the Honors Director who has arranged for a second reader, a faculty member with familiarity with the student’s subject area, to evaluate the thesis. (NOTE: On submission day, a student writing a creative thesis in poetry or fiction submits the creative thesis ONLY to the Writer's Workshop adviser.) Within ten days, the student will receive a written evaluation from the Honors Director. In these letters, students may be asked to revise their theses in minor or substantive ways, depending on the recommendations of the thesis adviser and the second reader. The revision process is supervised by the thesis adviser.

After the evaluation process is completed, and all revisions, if necessary, are made, the student must create two copies of the honors thesis title page. These must be proofread and approved by the Blank Honors Center, located behind Daum. Only after approval can the title pages be signed by the thesis adviser and the Honors Director. The student then submits one copy of the thesis with the signed title page to 305 EPB for storage in the EHP lounge, and one copy to the Blank Honors Center for storage in their library. The deadline for submitting the honors thesis to the Blank Honors Center for students wishing to graduate the semester the thesis is completed is the Wednesday of Finals Week.

The EHP encourages students to finish their revisions before the spring
Undergraduate Honors Award Ceremony which is held during the last week of April. At the Awards Ceremony, thesis advisors present certificates of recognition to their advisees.
