SENIOR Thesis Schedule for 2007-2008

This is a minimum schedule of thesis deadlines. If you plan to write more than five chapters you are urged to consult with your faculty advisor and senior thesis tutor to adjust deadlines in keeping with your own schedule, but you will be expected to observe the following deadlines as well. Please take note of the following:

• Only the form signed by your faculty advisor, the one-page thesis proposal and the finished version of the thesis are due to the tutorial office; deadlines for these three items are absolute.
• 
  The bibliography, outline, and subsequent chapters are due to your faculty advisor and your senior thesis tutor.
  
  
• Failure to turn in at least the first chapter draft by the end of the fall semester may result in an unsatisfactory grade for that term.
  
  
• The deadline for the completed thesis draft (March 11, 2008) is also absolute.
