How to Submit a Proposal for Review and Approval:

1. Pay close attention to the review cycle deadlines listed below.
2. Students should seek approval prior to beginning a project in order to confirm that it meets University Honors standards. Submitting a proposal after a project has begun could impact whether or not it is accepted. Submitting a proposal after a project has begun could also impact whether or not a grant is awarded and the amount of the grant.
3. All of the elements detailed in the proposal form must be reflected in your honors experiential learning project proposal. Please use the experiential learning project proposal rubric to evaluate your proposal prior to submission; reviewers will use the same rubric to evaluate your proposal.
4. All students should submit their proposals through the UHP online database.
5. Log in to the database and click on "Tracking Project". Click "edit" to add a new file and input the title, dates of the project, and other requested information. Save the project.
6. Click the "browse" button on the right side of the screen to upload your word document for your proposal.
7. Once you've uploaded the file, it is considered submitted to your advisor.
8. If you submitted a budget for an honors grant in your proposal, you will receive a separate email from Tricia Yee regarding that request (Tricia coordinates the grant award process).
9. You should expect to receive feedback from your honors advisor by the deadlines below. 
10. If revisions are requested, you should submit your revised proposal in the same manner (upload the document within the project on the UHP online database). Please make sure all file names are unique (so that your original proposal is not overwritten).
    

How to Submit a Reflective Essay for Review and Approval:
