DECEMBER
2007 COMPLETIONS
Tutorials: Most departments require TWO consecutive semesters of
thesis tutorials. You
are responsible for knowing and complying with your department’s
policy. For December
completions, the two-semester tutorial requirement is usually
satisfied by doing one tutorial during the Spring of the junior
year, the other during the Fall of the senior year.
Schedule: December completions follow the same deadline schedule as
those completing theses in April.
Candidates who cannot return to Middletown during the
Spring should complete most or all of the outlined steps by
December. Note that
even if the thesis or project is submitted in December, it will
not be evaluated until April.
Library
status:
Consult with library staff regarding your change in library status
regarding study carrels and borrowing privileges.
Finding
you:
Notify Beth Labriola and your tutor where you can be
found during the spring semester.
This information includes address and phone number.
SPECIAL
CIRCUMSTANCES
One
Semester Tracks for Honors
Candidates
for Honors in programs that do not require two-semester tutorials
must inform Beth Labriola and the appropriate person in
their department of their intent by September 17, 2007.
Honors
in Two Departments
Double
majors who want to write a single thesis for honors consideration
in both departments register for the tutorial in one department,
but must obtain approval from each department.
The thesis or project will be evaluated by members of both
departments, whose recommendations are independent of one another.
Nomination for University Honors must be endorsed by both
departments.
Double
majors may also choose to write a separate thesis for each
department. Two or
three students choose this route each year.
In this case, students must register for a thesis tutorial in each
department.
Honors
in General Scholarship
University
majors and those writing a thesis not represented by a Wesleyan
academic department may apply to be candidates for Honors in
General Scholarship. See
Beth Labriola as soon as possible so she can explain the
steps involved. In
addition to registering for the appropriate tutorial by September
17, 2007, other documents for Honors in General Scholarship are
due on October 1, 2007.
Discontinuing
Honors work:
It is imperative that both you and your tutor inform Beth
Labriola as soon as you decide you are not going to pursue
honors work. You must
complete a Senior Thesis Drop Form (red form), have it signed by
your thesis advisor, department/program Chair(s), and the senior
class dean, and submit it to
Beth in order to be officially dropped from the honors
candidate list.
Late
submission of theses:
Theses
may not be submitted late.
If you are having problems, contact Beth Labriola at the
earliest possible time. Computer problems are absolutely not an acceptable excuse for
late submission of a thesis.
So, do not print a final copy at the last minute.
Print early to make sure your thesis meets margin
requirements, tables and footnotes print correctly, and that your
title page is in the proper format.
Petitions:
Beth Labriola is not involved in the petition
process other than distributing the proper petition form.
Petition issues are handled by an Honors sub-committee and
the Chair of Honors.
