    • Departments must notify the Registrar's Office of students who are pursuing alternate pathways to honors. 
  • Register a thesis or essay in PDF format through WesPortal.
    • Most individual departments also require candidates to submit paper copies of the thesis/essay for their readers.  
    • Honors candidates who complete their graduation requirements in December are required to register their thesis with the University on the first day of classes of the following spring semester. Please refer to the Department/Program Reader Copy Requirements for more information.
