When your paper/project is completed, the following schedule is used:
- Your mentor will grade your paper and return it to you by the ninth week of the second semester.
- You can make corrections/revisions and present your paper/project to your committee by the tenth week of the second semester.
- You will present an oral presentation and discuss your paper/project before your committee and interested students and faculty in the eleventh week of the second semester. Your committee will notify you and your mentor as to their approval of your paper/project by the twelfth week of the second semester.
- Your committee may require revisions. In some cases, your faculty mentor will certify that the revisions are complete, while in others, your committee may want to see the paper again. These revisions must be completed by the final grade deadline in order for you to earn Honors. Once the project is complete, it must be submitted to the library via the established procedure.
