In addition to submitting your Application For Degree, you must also complete two copies of the Application for Graduation with Honors form, which can be downloaded from the University of Iowa Honors Program website. After obtaining the required signatures, you must submit the original form to Graduation Analysis (1 Jessup Hall, Window D) on or before the established deadline (see below).

Fall Semester Deadline: October 14, 2008. Spring Semester Deadline: March 6, 2009. Summer Semester Deadline: June 11, 2008.



Your proposal should be approved by your thesis supervisor (as indicated by his/her signature) and then submitted to the Biology Honors Advisor (Dr. Jonathan Poulton, 108 BB) no later than 2 months after beginning laboratory research. The submission deadlines for Fall, Spring, and Summer Semesters are November 1, April 1, and September 1, respectively.



Your thesis should be submitted to the Biology Honors Advisor no later than the last day of classes of the semester in which you plan to graduate (e.g. one full week before Commencement). This allows the Advisor sufficient time to review your thesis before submitting it to the University of Iowa Honors Program by the University's stated deadline.



The final requirement of the Biology Honors degree is to give a brief oral presentation of your research at the Biology Honors Colloquium, which takes place each semester during the last week of classes. Please inform the Biology Honors Advisor by mid-semester of your intention to take part in the Colloquium. You will be notified later of the date, time, and location of this event.



If you have any questions, or if you foresee that you will be unable to meet any of the above deadlines, please contact:
Dr. Jonathan Poulton, Biology Honors Advisor (Phone: 335-1322; Email: jonathan-poulton@uiowa.edu) as soon as possible.
