For May 2025 candidates, if you need additional time to complete your thesis, up to two weeks (to May 16, 2025) you must:

1. Contact your thesis supervisor and your Honors advisor to ask if they will support an extension and new timeline for review and approval of an additional two weeks.
2. Confirm support for up to a two week extension from both advisors - no official form or paperwork needed by the Honors office.
3. Communicate with thesis/research course instructor about grade submission deadlines or marking course as "I".
   1. IMPORTANT: Be aware that a late grade entry may leave you off the published Dean's List if you are eligible. If it applies, the Dean's List notation will appear on your transcript upon entry of the final grade.
4. Understand that a two-week extension will not prevent you from attending the Honors Medals Ceremony or Commencement activities.
5. Submit your thesis online at quest.uconn.edu and confirm approval from both advisors by the end of the two week extension (May 16, 2025).

You do not need to notify the Honors Program via email, phone, or fill out a special request form, if your thesis is submitted and approved within the two week window.

NOTE: August and December candidates who are interested in extensions must contact honors@uconn.edu.

1. Contact your thesis supervisor and your Honors advisor to determine if they will both support an additional extension.
2. With input from both advisors, determine a new mutually agreed upon timeline for completion, review, and approval.
3. By May 16, 2025, email honors@uconn.edu:
   • confirming that you have the support of both advisors for a further extension;
   • providing Honors with the agreed upon new deadline;
   • and to learn your options for graduation.

For May 2025 Graduates: Your thesis will need to be submitted to Quest and approved by both advisors by the extended deadline or by the final degree deadline of TBD.  All of your grades and Honors credit must be noted on your transcript and all of your normal and Honors degree requirements must also be met by this time.

Extensions beyond the final degree deadline will result in postponement of your degree conferral to August or later.
