Failure to meet them could affect your date of graduation, eligibily for Latin honors, etc. School deadlines are listed on the graduation application website as well as on each school's website.)

* This timeline assumes a June graduation; if you are graduating at the end of a different quarter, some deadlines may shift; make sure you know what applies to you.
**We encourage you to begin research as early as possible. Major-specific honors program may begin at different times, and some require applications or course work before/during
junior year. PLAN AHEAD!! How early to start is often a matter of judgment, determined not only by deadlines, but also by the readiness of
each student, and the availability of an appropriate faculty advisor.
***If you need an extension to any deadline stated above, see an Honors Advisor immediately. Whenever differences exist, school/major-specific
honors program deadlines, procedures and requirements supersede the ones listed above. It is your responsibility to identify and clarify any differences.
****Final paperwork must include a hard copy of your final approved thesis & abstract and the signed thesis approval form (these
need to be submitted in a protective cover or you pay 50 cents). Also need an electronic copy of the thesis and abstract, and the completed CHP Exit Interview and Research Survey forms. |
