Forms Needed for the Capstone

The First Form

Students must fill out a form at the beginning of the proposal process: the Capstone Proposal Cover Sheet which will be attached to the finished proposal.

See below for a digital copy of the cover sheet.

The Proposal

The proposal is due the last day of classes of the semester prior to the one in which you'll begin the capstone. This is not a flexible deadline.

• a detailed statement of the rationale for the capstone project;
• a list of the parts of the project;
• a plan for the revision and/or production of the parts of the project;
• a timeline for the completion of the parts of the project; and
• a definite plan for how the writer will get advice from committee members about project materials and how the writer will respond to that advice, e.g., meetings, e-mail attachments, etc.

After approval by the committee, submit the signed cover sheet with the project proposal and time line to Terri Brennen, English Building 163. Once she receives that, she can enter the necessary prerequisite for the student to enroll in PRWR 7960.

The Last Form

Once you've finished the capstone, you'll need to submit a copy of the Capstone Project Completion Form.

This form must be signed by both members of your committee and is due to Ms. Brennen the last day of classes in the semester in which you complete your capstone. This deadline is not flexible. She will submit the form to the Registrar's Office.

Also, don't forget to petition to graduate. Refer to Graduation Forms.
